St. Paul's School Reviews

If you want a well-rounded high school experience, St. Paul's is the place to go. It is clear that the school genuinely cares about its students, faculty, and staff. They've done a lot of research on diversity programs and, consequently, have done a great job of building a friendly and inclusive environment. Teachers are also very receptive and genuinely concerned about their student's well-being and success. SPS has had the most impact on our son's life. He adores his school classmates, deans, and advisers. As parents, we couldn't ask for a better school for our son! We are so relieved we decided to go with St. Paul's!

Review St. Paul's School

This is the single best place I have ever been to, and I would not change my moments with this community for anything. While I was at St. Paul's historically, I struggled with serious mental health issues, but despite the fact that I often was in dire straits and needed a lot of help, everyone at St. Pauls - teachers like Dr. Dowell, Reverend Wynder of the Chaplaincy, the amazingly talented Dr. Camden, whose intelligence is only outpaced by his humanity, Ms. Engelhardt, my wonderful former advisor Mr. Daniel Murphy, Ms. Myra Singletary, the administration, which to be very clear, dealt with a lot extremely successfully during the initial Covid-19 outbreak and its aftershocks and deserves heavy and liberal praise, in short, basically everyone, never thought less of me and tried to help. This was a day in and day out problem for years, from my Third Form year into an intense climax beginning in January of my Fourth Form year. If I had room I would certainly have written more.

I recommend anyone seeking a top-level boarding school to consider St. Paul's. I chose SPS over two other schools which are "ranked" higher, and I have not looked back. St. Paul's students are academically and athletically excellent and go on to attend top colleges.

Overall, the St. Paul's experience is second to none. I have truly enjoyed my time here so far. No matter what type of person you are, you can have a great time at St. Paul's. The campus is beautiful, the resources are unmatched, and the facilities speak for themselves.
