History
Dr. Clifford R. Nobes, then the pastor of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, created the school in 1963. The school had a preschool in the church building with 43 students and 4 staff members. In 1970 the school purchased the former Rollins Elementary School building. The school burned down in 1992 after stage lights overheated and caught fire.[2] Classes resumed in the Temple B'nai Jehudah.[3] The school rebuilt a three-story brick building on the same midtown location in 1994.[4]
Campus
St. Paul's has been located in the Westport neighborhood since the school's establishment. The school's current building was completed in 1994 on the site of the school's former building, which burned down in 1992. A new wing was completed in January 2009.
