I loved the school! The teachers were very friendly and kind. The reason I don't give it five is because the dress code seems unnecessarily strict. You are not allowed to wear leggings. But other than the dress code rules, I think that Rowland Hall is a very great school.
I worked here and I saw the children happy and learning more than other schools I have been at.
outstanding faculty and education, and a great learning environment, but a ton of homework
My children have attended Rowland Hall since they were 3 years old. Today one is in 6th grade and the other in 9th grade. We have all enjoyed being part of the Rowland Hall community. The teachers know each student personally and encourage students to be their absolute best selves, not only academically but personally. There are many things I appreciate about Rowland Hall, including the academics, community, staff, teachers, volunteer program, outside learning experiences, class trips, and the list goes on and on, but the number one thing I love about Rowland Hall is that my daughters love school. I attribute this to the excellent teachers and staff. So grateful we found RHSM!
We took our children out of Rowland as they were not challenged academically. i agree it is full of kids who have been kicked out of other private schools for either emotional or intellectual disturbances. my wife found the mothers full of gossip and quite shallow as well. we are much happier at our new school on every level. my children are finally being challenged academically.
I wish I had attended Rowland Hall. I vowed, when I had children, that they would, and they have (and do). Two of our children graduated and are now enjoying college - having been prepped emotionally and academically for the rigor. Our two youngest kids, in middle school and high school now, are there and thriving. I can't imagine a more supportive, inclusive, creative, inquisitive environment.
Words cannot express how thrilled we have been with Rowland Hall for our children. The school is on the leading edge of educational best practices and has put a tremendous amount of resources into faculty continuing education. Additionally, we feel Rowland Hall has the most diverse cultural mix of any school in the Salt Lake Valley. All of this adds up to an amazingly nurturing, innovative and inspiring school for our children.
