Rowland Hall is a private, independent school offering a comprehensive Pre‑Kindergarten through 12th‑grade program that prepares students for academic success, ethical leadership, and meaningful engagement in a complex world. Founded in 1867, Rowland Hall is recognized as the oldest independent school in Utah, with a long tradition of academic rigor, community service, and whole‑child development.
Serving around 1,000 students across four divisions — Beginning School (PreK & kindergarten), Lower School (Grades 1–5), Middle School (Grades 6–8), and Upper School (Grades 9–12) — Rowland Hall delivers a holistic education that blends core academics with enrichment opportunities, experiential learning, and a strong ethical foundation. Small class sizes and a low student‑to‑teacher ratio help teachers differentiate instruction and build meaningful connections with learners at every level.
Academically, students engage in a broad curriculum that includes literacy, math, science, humanities, world languages, and advanced placement courses, complemented by opportunities in visual and performing arts, robotics, debate, research projects, and interdisciplinary studies. The school’s educational philosophy emphasizes critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and curiosity — guiding students to apply knowledge in real‑world contexts and to become agile problem solvers.
Rowland Hall also stands out for its signature programs, including nationally recognized debate, competitive athletics, and the Rowmark Ski Academy — Utah’s only school‑based ski academy producing top‑level athletes — as well as experiential field studies, internships, and leadership development experiences that prepare students for future academic and civic success.
As a non‑profit independent school governed by a Board of Trustees, Rowland Hall welcomes a diverse student body from across the region and offers financial aid and scholarship programs to support access for qualified families. The school’s mission is to inspire learners to lead ethical, productive lives through a college‑preparatory program that balances intellectual challenge with social‑emotional growth, community involvement, and global perspective.
Rowland Hall’s integrated academic, arts, athletic, and leadership programs set it apart as an option for families seeking rigorous, personalized education rooted in character, exploration, and a commitment to developing the people the world needs.
