An Extraordinary Education

Upper School (Grades 9–12)

The Upper School at RPCS offers academic excellence in a joyful and empowering learning environment. Young women are inspired to discover their unique paths by pursuing their passions, both in the classroom and through a wide range of co-curricular opportunities.

Teachers, advisors, and coaches form strong, supportive relationships with students—challenging, nurturing, and guiding them every step of the way as they grow into their most confident and authentic selves. Our school culture blends tradition with innovation, grounding students in core values while fostering creativity, critical thinking, and a spirit of inquiry. In our inclusive community, students are taught to embrace and celebrate diversity, understanding the strength that comes from a wide range of perspectives and lived experiences.  

With an emphasis on mental and physical wellness, girls are supported in living healthy, balanced lives. Curiosity and creativity are nurtured daily, preparing students to become bold, compassionate leaders ready to make a meaningful impact in college and beyond.
