Rowland Hall-St. Mark’s School (RHSM) is Utah’s oldest independent college preparatory day school and one of the finest in the country. Founded in 1880 as an Episcopal boarding school, Rowland Hall once provided a home and an education to daughters of western miners and ranchers. St. Mark’s, a coeducational day school, was established in the mid-1800s, closed just before Utah achieved statehood, and then reopened sixty years later as a boys’ day school. In 1964, the two schools merged to become a coeducational, college-preparatory school. Although Rowland Hall-St. Mark’s School is no longer an Episcopal school, it proudly honors its historic relationship with the Episcopal Church.

Today RHSM’s 950 children are educated on two campuses in Salt Lake City. Beginning School and Lower School students learn and play on the new Philip G. McCarthey Campus and the Lincoln Street Campus, just one mile to the west, is the setting for the academic and social life of Middle School and Upper School students.

Rowland Hall-St. Mark’s offers a solid liberal arts education balanced with a broad curriculum in the creative arts, languages, technology, health, service learning, and physical education. As students advance from preschool through twelfth grade, they are able to connect and expand on important academic concepts through in a philosophically consistent and coordinated curricular scope and sequence. Rowland Hall-St. Mark’s School encourages religious, ethnic, racial, and economic diversity within its student body and nurtures understanding and acceptance of varying cultures and points of view.

The relationship between teacher and student is essential to education and is enhanced by our RHSM’s small classes. Our faculty is comprised of well-qualified, thoughtful people who love teaching and enjoy spending their day with young people. Sustaining a superior teaching faculty gives credence to the strong sense of academic pride that prevails at the school.
