STEM, humanities, collaboration, and creativity come together in Mission to Mars, an eighth-grade capstone project that puts three years of Middle School learning into action as students imagine life on the Red Planet.
Congratulations to the 71 graduates of Rowland Hall’s class of 2026! Join us in celebrating the accomplishments and impact of this year’s senior class.
Introduced this year, Leadership Lab is helping fifth graders develop the communication and problem-solving skills that will prepare them for leadership opportunities in Middle School and beyond.
Student curiosity sparked the launch of AR Physics, the sixth class in Rowland Hall’s Advanced Research program, which gives seniors the chance to tackle big questions through ambitious, self-directed work.
In the Beginning School, teachers are continually refining mathematics instruction to help young learners build a strong foundation for future mathematical thinking.
Get to know Cliff Caldwell, Rowland Hall’s new director of safety and security, a role that focuses on keeping our students and campuses safe, welcoming, and thriving.
