Rowland Hall opened the 2026–2027 school year with a celebration of the year’s theme, One Campus, One Community, and a look ahead to the December opening of the Steiner Campus.
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.
