Welcome from Head of School

Jean Waller BruneWelcome to the Roland Park Country School website! As you explore this site, you will learn about the breadth and depth of academic and extra-curricular offerings that make this School such a vibrant place to teach, learn and grow.

A college preparatory school for girls from K through 12, Roland Park Country School has educated women of intelligence, creativity, integrity, and vision for more than a century—learning together under one roof.

I hope you share my enthusiasm for this wonderful institution. Our students remain among the most academically talented in the region and attend many of the nation's most selective colleges and universities. RPCS offers advanced technology, seven foreign languages, thirteen advanced placement courses, more than ninety electives for seniors, visual and performing arts, and fifteen varsity sports. The School is proud of its superb academic program, award-winning faculty, financial strength, championship athletic teams and outstanding arts facilities.

On these pages, you will find a wealth of information about our School. Once you have taken a "virtual tour" of our campus, I hope you will visit us in person.

Sincerely,
 
Jean Waller Brune
Head of School
