St. Paul Academy and Summit School | Upper School & Middle School Campus

Too many students live, both literally and figuratively, at the back of the classroom. SPA is different. There is no back of the classroom here. Our core belief in the power of personal accountability has led us to create the "accountable classroom": a small and vibrant learning community where master teachers discover and strengthen individual talents. But the accountable classroom is much more. It’s a place where children of all ages learn that they have a responsibility to engage and contribute. Every day. In every class. Because the class is only as good as the students and teacher make it, together. The ensuing discourse teaches students to respect the input of others even as they begin to recognize their own talents.
