About Our Faculty
St. Paul’s is teaching at its best. Our faculty is as dedicated to their subject areas as they are to their students. More than half of the St. Paul’s faculty has advanced degrees and the school continually provides funding for faculty to continue their professional development. Over the years, our faculty members’ ideas and accomplishments have helped to place St. Paul’s in a prominent position among independent schools. Some of the most influential ideas in independent school education – the Lower School Independent Studies Lab, for example, and our system and method of Middle School advising – set us apart both locally and nationally.
More than half of the St. Paul's faculty has advanced degrees.
A St. Paul’s teacher is so more than a specialist in a discipline. He or she is a mentor and guide in a young person’s development. The teacher-coach model is one of St. Paul’s greatest strengths. Family, both on and off the field, is how this relationship is most often described. “Teaching is coaching and coaching is teaching,” says one teacher-coach. “Knowing what motivates a boy as an athlete, I can motivate him in history class. And coaching is not just for sports – it extends to theater, music, and elsewhere. That is what we are all about at St. Paul’s.”
The hallmark of the St. Paul’s community is its ability to bring learning alive for its students. Our teachers impart a sense of mastery and growing self-confidence to the students so that graduates can tackle whatever challenges future schooling – or life – holds in store.
