St. Paul's School is an independent K-12 college-preparatory school in Brooklandville, Maryland (a northern suburb of Baltimore), located since 1952 on a 64-acre (0.26 km2) rural campus in the Green Spring Valley Historic District, about ten miles (16 km) north of the city of Baltimore in surrounding suburban Baltimore County. St. Paul's was founded in February 1849 at Old St. Paul's Parish in Baltimore City by the Reverend William Edward Wyatt, rector. Throughout its history, St. Paul's has moved its campus five times, finally residing at the current grounds by 1952 in Brooklandville. The focal point building on the Brooklandville campus is "Brooklandwood", a mansion built in 1793 by Charles Carroll of Carrollton, (1737-1832), one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence for Maryland, the wealthiest man in America at the time, and a devout Roman Catholic. The building was later listed on the National Register of Historic Places maintained by the National Park Service of the U.S. Department of the Interior in 1972.
Today, St. Paul's is co-ed through the fourth grade, but all-male from fifth through twelfth grade. Its sister school St. Paul's School for Girls (reestablished in 1959 after a 19th century predecessor became defunct) is located on an adjacent campus to the south, with the schools sharing in some foreign language and elective classes.
