St. Paul's provides an education that is intellectually challenging and morally enriching. The School enrolls students from widely diverse cultural, religious, family, racial and socioeconomic backgrounds who are motivated to succeed and who, by the virtue of their character, will contribute to the life and spirit of the School. Students are admitted on the basis of academic and social skills, developmental readiness, past school experience, recommendations and character. Kindergarten and sixth grade are primary entry points into the school.
Our students’ 2007 and 2008 high school acceptances included Head Royce, College Preparatory School, Lick Wilmerding, Athenian, University High School, and Bentley.
College acceptances for the class of 2004 included Princeton, Columbia, University of Chicago, Middlebury, Brown, Spelman, Bowdoin, and Dartmouth.
