St. Paul's School is an independent K-12 college-preparatory school in Brooklandville, Maryland (a suburb of Baltimore), located 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. St. Paul's was founded in 1849 at Old St. Paul's Parish in Baltimore City by Reverend William Edward Wyatt. Throughout its history, St. Paul's has moved its campus five times, finally residing at the current grounds in Brooklandville. The focal point building on the Brooklandville campus is Brooklandwood, a mansion built in 1793 by Charles Carroll, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places 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 is located on an adjacent campus, with the schools sharing in some foreign language and elective classes.
At the time of the school's founding in the nineteenth century, boys studied Greek, Latin, and math. The practice of church music was also given high priority, starting with the creation of the Men and Boys’ Choir of Old St. Paul’s Church in 1873.
St. Paul's offers a college-preparatory curriculum for students in the Upper School (grades 9-12).
St. Paul's is known for its small class sizes, collegial student-teacher relationships and strong focus on the liberal arts. The school recently established an IB Diploma Program to further enrich a curriculum of Advanced Placement and Honors courses.
