Welcome to a new school year! As proud Dragons, we celebrate the whole child, honoring each student’s identity, culture, and unique talents. This is my 13th year at Roland Park, and it continues to be a joy to lead a community so deeply rooted in care, curiosity, and connection. Through inquiry-based learning with real-world application, we empower internationally minded students to think critically and embrace who they are. Together, we’ll continue building a school where every child feels seen, valued, and inspired.
Let’s make this a remarkable year, Dragons! Building a Culture of Care- Mrs. von Ancken
Roland Park welcomed our 6th graders and new to Roland Park 7th and 8th graders for a two-day bridge camp. During this camp, students participated in team building activities, did a scavenger hunt around the school, and made lots of memories! We can't wait to welcome them back in August for an amazing school year!
This past July, 14 teachers and staff members went on an epic adventure to Ecuador. They visited an indigenous village where they participated in service opportunities, visited the equator, shopped in local markets, and made incredible memories. They were true IB life-long learners as they were open-minded to a new culture, were risk-takers as they zip-lined over a waterfall, and reflective as they thought about how these new experiences would change them.
In June, a group of our 8th-grade students set off on an adventure of a lifetime to Costa Rica for a week! These adventurous travelers created so many amazing adventures! They ziplined at Arenal Volcano, visited the Doka Coffee Plantation, shopped in local markets, visited local hot springs, and kayaked across a lake. They also had the opportunity to do community service at an animal rescue and in a small community focused on taking care of the environment. These students grew as individuals and made memories to last a lifetime!
