THE ST. PAUL’S SCHOOLS
Three small schools. One sprawling campus. Endless opportunities. That’s the condensed version of what it’s like to be part of the St. Paul’s Schools community. We learned more from Elouise, an eighth grader at the St. Paul’s School for Girls; Ari, a junior at St. Paul’s School for Boys; and Andrew, a fourth grader at St. Paul’s Lower School.
WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE MEMORY FROM YOUR SCHOOL?
ELOUISE: I loved Puttin’ on the Hits, an annual Green and White Team competition amongst all the grades and faculty. It was super fun, and I had a great time creating an amazing dance with my classmates and performing it in front of the entire school.
ANDREW: Probably when I taught my class a “How-to” lesson through a PowerPoint presentation.
ARI: My favorite memory from St. Paul’s is bike riding through Ocean City and the Delaware beaches with my friends for our East Coast biking trip. Each year, sophomores get to take a trip with their classmates and teachers during Kinsolving Trips and get to bond with each other.
WHAT IS THE BIGGEST LESSON YOU WILL TAKE AWAY FROM YOUR SCHOOL EXPERIENCE?
ELOUISE: The biggest lesson I will take away from my school experience is to always take healthy risks.
ANDREW: I always loved math, but St. Paul’s has made it a lot more fun with the math games we play in class. It has made a big impact on my learning.
ARI: Don’t be afraid to connect with other people. Building connections is a key part of the St. Paul’s experience and ties back into the recurring theme of community.
WHAT DO YOU THINK DISTINGUISHES YOUR SCHOOL FROM THE OTHER INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS?
ELOUISE: What distinguishes St. Paul’s from other independent schools is our commitment to integrity and compassion, as well as our academic and athletic excellence.
ANDREW: It has a lot more opportunities than many other schools. I especially love my Japanese modern language class.
ARI: Any person can come to St. Paul’s and be successful. There is such a diverse group of activities at St. Paul’s including arts, sports, and STEM. St. Paul’s has something for everyone.
