Discover the Difference: What Sets RPCS Apart
Academics That are Rigorous and Reflective
Our focus on critical thinking, ethical decision-making and interdisciplinary learning prepares students for life, not just college. Signature programs, such as The Holliday Heine STEM Institute, The Gore Leadership Institute, and our nationally recognized integrated math program that focuses on inquiry-based problem solving, let girls pursue passion with purpose.
A School Under One Roof
At RPCS, we believe that girls who build each other up will thrive. In a school under one roof, our older students form deep relationships with the younger girls, built on trust and guidance. The collective support of our student community is felt in every hallway and classroom.
Every Girl is Seen, Known, and Supported
RPCS emphasizes a uniquely joyful community where girls are not only challenged—but genuinely seen, heard, and celebrated. RPCS fosters deep relationships between students and faculty and prioritizes emotional well-being alongside academic success, which research shows is especially important in today’s high-pressure world.
Leadership Rooted in Purpose
RPCS doesn’t just teach leadership. We cultivate it in every girl, no matter her personality type or interests. Girls are encouraged to lead with empathy, integrity and courage throughout all grade levels, from our little/big buddy program to the cross-divisional Red Key Ambassador program.
Values-Driven Community
RPCS is one of the most intentionally inclusive and values-driven independent schools in the region. Our core values of leading for the greater good, taking one’s seat at the table, being healthy and living well, seeking and embracing diversity, and building each other up are authentically built into the structure of daily school life. These values help our students thrive academically, socially and emotionally, well beyond graduation.
Helping Each Student Find Her Path
The paths that each of our girls travel is just as important as the destinations they reach. At RPCS, we guide each student to find her own way forward in an environment where she will thrive. When we focus on both pathways and outcomes, we see the results: a vibrant community full of confident young women who are passionate, purposeful and deeply connected to each other.
