Roland Park Country School is a very special place, marked by a resilient spirit that has been the School's hallmark since its inception over 100 years ago.
This spirit has traveled with the School from the original campus on Keswick Road to Roland Avenue to University Parkway to our present campus at Chestnutwood.
RPCS is committed to providing students with the tools and knowledge necessary to pursue their passions with confidence, responsibility and an understanding of the world around them. We invite you to share in our remarkable history and in the spirit that has carried RPCS through the past century.
