St. Paul's School (also known as St. Paul's or SPS) is a college-preparatory, coeducational boarding school in Concord, New Hampshire, affiliated with the Episcopal Church. The school's 2,000-acre (8.1 km2), or 3.125 square mile, campus serves 540 students, who come from 37 states and 28 countries.
Established in 1856 to educate boys from upper-class families, St. Paul's later became one of the first boys' boarding schools to admit girls and is now home to a diverse student body from all backgrounds. It is one of the only remaining boarding-only high schools in the United States. Although the school no longer publicizes the size of its financial endowment, on a per capita basis, St. Paul's was the wealthiest boarding school in New England in January 2019. Students with annual household incomes of $125,000 or below "generally qualify for full tuition support." Thirty-eight percent of students are on financial aid.
