Rowland Hall

Rowland Hall is an independent, coeducational day school offering a college-preparatory program to 935 students in preschool through high school. Today, our learning culture is stronger than ever. Visit classrooms and you’ll find teachers incorporating practices based on the latest brain research, or guiding children through collaborative projects. Talk to students and you’ll hear about summer internships in science, the growth of maker spaces on campus, or how they choreographed a dance piece about their relationship with technology. Attend a parent forum and you’ll learn strategies for discussing sensitive topics with children, tested and recommended by experts and school administrators. We have created an environment where students witness adults modeling the learning behaviors asked of them, and this generates enthusiasm and inspiration for everyone to strive for excellence.

At Rowland Hall, we’re proud to be educational leaders in the Intermountain West. We want our students to focus on learning as a process, feel safe taking risks, and practice curiosity and compassion. We are committed to building a diverse, inclusive school where all people have the opportunity to develop their voices and not only feel recognized, but valued. Perhaps most importantly, we are dedicated to graduating good citizens who are well prepared for college and the challenges of tomorrow’s world. Nothing gives me more joy than hearing from alumni that Rowland Hall gave them the knowledge and resilience to succeed in life long after their classroom days had ended.

We inspire students to lead ethical and productive lives through a college preparatory program that promotes the pursuit of academic and personal excellence. Like all independent schools, Rowland Hall engages in a thoughtful conversation about its mission, vision, and direction on a five-year cycle. Toward the end of each of these strategic planning processes, stakeholders representing each school constituency - teachers, alumni, administrators, trustees, parents, students - unite around goals for teaching, learning, and funding that will best serve our students. Our values:

• Our evolving curriculum encourages students to become enthusiastic and successful learners.
• Students thrive in an environment where challenge is expected, learning is supported, and personal best efforts are celebrated in class, on stage, and in athletics.
• Rowland Hall values integrity and responsibility. We guide our students to make good choices and to learn from their mistakes.
• Rowland Hall encourages religious, ethnic, racial, and socio-economic diversity within its community and promotes understanding and acceptance of various cultures and points of view.
• Students develop a commitment to change their world for the better through an expansive service learning program.

Students at Rowland Hall enjoy small classes and forge meaningful relationships with creative, highly trained teachers. Social and emotional development is nurtured in a supportive environment, while athletic and artistic opportunities abound. As students strive to reach their potential, we help them to explore their roles as ethical members of a multicultural world. We are dedicated to building an inclusive school community.

Educational excellence happens when we embrace ideas, ask why, wrestle with complexity, and explore subjects in depth. Whether playing with building blocks or constructing mathematical proofs, Rowland Hall students become critical thinkers for life.

Here, students are encouraged to choose their challenges, find their passions, express their individuality, and be successful in college, their careers, and their lives. When they leave Rowland Hall, our graduates are committed to making a difference in the world.

Each of our school’s four divisions – Beginning School, Lower School, Middle School, and Upper School – focuses on the intellectual and social emotional developmental needs of its students, while as one school, we always have our eyes on the next stage in each child’s learning. By committing to national best practices, Rowland Hall's preK through 12th grade education sets that standard for teaching and learning excellence in Salt lake City. The learning culture here is strong and thriving. We invest in faculty and programs in our pursuit of excellence so that we are at the top of our game. Always.
