St. Paul's School for Girls is an independent college-preparatory school in Brooklandville, Maryland founded in 1959 to replace an older girls' school which had been closed.
Contents
Its all-boys brother school St. Paul's School is located on an adjacent campus. The Upper Schools share some foreign language and certain elective classes.
Location
It is situated on a rural campus in the Green Spring Valley, about ten miles (16 km) north of the city of Baltimore.
History
The school was founded in 1959, on a site adjacent to St. Paul's School for Boys. Its predecessor, St. Paul's Girls' School, had been founded in 1799 as the Orphanage of the Benevolent Society. St. Paul's School for Girls was not an orphanage in the 1900s but a home for young ladies of means that had behavioral problems; e.g., they were often from broken homes. The females were not educated at the School but in the public school system of Baltimore City. The Girls School was closed by the mid-1900s (after 1950). Only 24 girls (in 1941 there were 25) between the ages of 7-15 were accepted to board each term. Emma London was the last Director of the School, which occupied the old "Evergreen" mansion at 2300 Warwick Avenue in Baltimore from September 1929 until its close. This is not the historic Evergreen Plantation associated with Johns Hopkins.
The school was approved for international students under the Student and Exchange Visitor Program in 2003.
The school was designated a Green School in September 2007 by the Maryland Association for Environmental and Outdoor Education.
