An independent private school for grades 3PreK–12 in Salt Lake City, Utah

Rowland Hall is committed to providing a transformative education that prepares students to be the people the world needs. Our Advanced Research classes, unveiled in 2023–2024, immerse students in real-world questions and cutting-edge research, and allow them to work alongside experts.

How do you build a better bug trap? That's a question Rowland Hall seventh graders tackled in fall 2023 as they considered the best ways to capture invasive insect species impacting ecosystems across Utah. Best of all, the skills students built during this unit weren't set aside after they turned in their work—they're continuing to benefit students across all their classes.

The 2023–2024 school year marked the first year of the 5-I Fifth-Grade Internship Program, an exciting opportunity for fifth graders to work with the school's staff, administrative, and leadership teams. Learn how 5-I is authentically building professional skills in student leaders, as well as strengthening community on campus.

Tree climbing is a uniquely valuable tool in the holistic development of children—and for good reason. This one activity builds risk tolerance, confidence, physical and social skills, and even environmental stewardship.

Rowland Hall is known for our top debate program, but that doesn't mean the argumentative and highly competitive nature of the sport is for everyone. That's why debate teacher Mike Shackelford created Mock Trial and Model United Nations, a middle and upper school class that exposes more students to the benefits of debate without the pressures of high-level competition.
