Bryn S. Roberts, Head of School
To understand a school is to know its people — the faculty, the students, the alumni/ae and the parents. At St. Paul Academy and Summit School you will discover a vibrant and thoroughly engaged community that believes passionately in the mission of the school.
We strive assiduously to live our mission. For more than 100 years, scholarship and service to others have been fundamental ingredients of the SPA experience. We prize intellectual achievement and our graduates matriculate to the finest colleges and universities in the country. Our graduates are engaged and thoughtful citizens and leaders in their communities.
The relationships between faculty and students are the heart of the SPA experience and SPA's exceptional teachers ask as much of themselves as they ask of their students. Their role extends well beyond the classroom and they are devoted to cultivating the habits of the ethical and conscientious citizen in all of their students. This website cannot capture the unbridled joy and laughter that fill the halls of our school or the spirit of inquiry and intellectual excitement that you will find in all of our classrooms. Our students work and play hard and they care deeply about their classmates, their teachers and their community.
If you are a member of the SPA community — alumni/ae, student or parent — I hope this website provides an informed perspective on a school with which you are already familiar. If you are a prospective student, I hope the website — our digital portal to the world — provides an enticing introduction to our school.
Please call if you have a question or, even better, come by for a visit! There is no better way to understand the splendors of St. Paul Academy and Summit School than to experience it for yourself.
Sincerely,
Bryn S. Roberts
Head of School
