Saint Pauls College

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Saint Paul's College is a private, historically black college located in Lawrenceville, Virginia. The college is a four-year, private, co-ed, liberal arts institute affiliated with the Episcopal Church.

Campus

Saint Paul’s eleven-building campus is situated on of green hills. Older buildings were constructed by students and donated by friends of the College. Some of the college's older buildings have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

History

On September 24, 1888, James Solomon Russell of the Protestant Episcopal Church founded the Saint Paul Normal and Industrial School, with fewer than a dozen students. The school was intended chiefly to develop African American teachers, one of the most critical and prestigious jobs in the late 19th and early 20th century South. Although nearly 30,000 teachers had been put into schools in the South by 1900, the need was critical to double that number in order to reach parity in a segregated system with the proportion of teachers serving white students.

In 1941 the name of the institution was changed to Saint Paul’s Polytechnic Institute, when the state granted the school authority to offer a four-year program. The first bachelor’s degree was awarded in 1944. In 1957 the college adopted its present name to reflect more accurately its liberal arts and teacher education curricula.

Academics

Saint Paul’s College focuses on liberal arts, social sciences, education, business, mathematics, and natural sciences. It is committed to the development of young Christian men and women who leave the college capable of taking their place in a multicultural society.

Student Support

Saint Paul's College is home to the Single Parent Support System, the only program of its kind in the United States. Initiated in 1987, the Single Parent Support System (SPSS) is a unique on-campus residential educational program specifically designed for single parents with two or fewer children between the ages of two months to nine years old.
