The St. Paul’s Schools is a family of independent schools in Baltimore County, Maryland. Serving children from infancy through grade 12, three schools share a 120-acre campus.
The new three-story upper school building, which serves St. Paul’s Boys School grades 9-12, is located on the site of its predecessor, Ratcliffe Hall. It features a central atrium, three student commons, an expanded learning services center, and state-of-the-art labs for engineering, biology, chemistry, and physics. Classrooms and faculty offices are grouped by academic discipline to enhance collaboration.
To maintain context with the scale of nearby buildings, the upper school has a two-story presence on the main quad and presents a third lower level to the south and east.
