Roland Park Country School has existed for 125 years, with its origins in a neighborhood school for boys and girls established in 1894 and its current campus known as Chestnutwood. The school is an independent school for girls in grades K–12, with Little Reds as its coed preschool for younger children. The school’s mission states that it is a collaborative and inclusive community that cultivates intellectual curiosity, emotional intelligence, dynamic resilience, and authentic leadership, and that it inspires girls and young women to think critically and pursue their passions while honoring tradition and embracing innovation. The school maintains high academic standards, upholds tradition, promotes innovation, and has a Code of Ethics and an Honor Code that emphasize honor, responsibility, consideration for others, truthfulness, sincerity, self-discipline, and a spirit of fellowship. RPCS notes a focus on a safe and healthy environment where each student, employee, family, graduate, and guest is welcomed and appreciated, and where differences are celebrated. The school’s history includes multiple campus moves, rebuilding after fires, and long-standing traditions such as the bagpiper tradition on Opening Day, and it has been described as a place of profound and hands-on learning with a long history of dedication to the intellectual and moral development of its students. RPCS is also noted as the first girls’ school in Maryland to be awarded a Cum Laude chapter.
