Roland Park Country School Photo #10 - Our Middle School always takes time in the beginning of the year to welcome new students with a special spirited day and inclusion into either the red or white teams! Every student at RPCS is separated into one of these teams, which encourages camaraderie and spirit throughout their academic career.
RPCS celebrates the multifaceted nature of academic excellence. Our students are provided resources to follow their curiosities, pursue their passions, and challenge themselves to excel in an academically rigorous environment. Our students possess a varied range of talents, and their education reflects that diversity. At Roland Park Country School, we believe that young women who build each other up will thrive.
