Thank you for your interest in The Park School of Baltimore. Ours is a co-educational setting for students pre-kindergarten (age 4) through grade twelve. The campus is nestled two miles north of the city line on 100 acres of land that provides an ideal setting for teaching and learning. We hope you'll visit the campus to experience Park first hand. During a tour we will offer you the opportunity to glimpse into our stimulating classrooms, observe the co-curricular work of students, and meet personally with a member of the Admission Team.
Our school was founded over one hundred years ago in response to limited choices for independent school education. From the start, this was to be a school open to many — with a varied student body that challenged the common practices of the time. Just as important today, the school remains committed to sustaining a diverse environment where multiple perspectives are heard and considered. Our student body, age four through grade twelve, totals 829 and changes and grows each year as new families settle with us. As our community grows, so do we.
Please introduce yourself to us. Take time to explore our website, register for an event, or schedule an admission tour. To set an appointment we ask that you contact the Admission Office directly by calling 410-339-4130. You may also inquire online (click here) to receive a September packet that will guide you through the application process.
Follow this link to a sampling of first-person profiles — real students in their own words — and, of course, we welcome you to campus to experience Park, to familiarize yourself with an academic setting that encourages each student to challenge him/herself, to meet our faculty who inspire and support and truly connect, and to understand the ways in which excellence, as embodied by each of our students, is the natural outcome at Park.
Park students are encouraged to consider a wide range of possible colleges with the aim of having college choices that suit their personal preferences and goals.
We offer two unique yet complementary kindergarten years (Pre-Kindergarten for Age 4 and Kindergarten for Age 5) allowing teachers to know and support the range of skills and developmental abilities that children bring with them.

Being a good listener is the first step toward becoming a strong leader.
They say there are three things that you can’t get back.

I love working with people. And data.
I am a writer, a photographer, an athlete.
Each of us can make a positive impact on this world.
I learn best when I get my hands on material that I feel is important.
I want to be a scientist in the future.
Actually...I think I might already be a scientist.
—Lexi, 11th Grade
Maybe I’ll be an engineer. Or someone who works in a factory. Maybe an astronaut. Maybe a pilot. An artist. Maybe an illustrator. Or a writer. An author. A poet?
—Jonathan, 1st Grade
I’m a stickler for proper grammar.
Some of that static you hear when flipping through
radio stations is leftover radiation from the Big Bang.
I am an actor. And I love the outdoors.
I’ll talk religion or politics with anyone.
(I used to be shy.)
I want to be known as a powerful woman.

It means coming together with other people
to do the things you need to do.
—Nigel, 4th Grade
I like to think through other people’s viewpoints —
to put myself in their shoes.
Turning a profit in business and caring for people are not mutually exclusive.
Studies should be interdisciplinary; that’s the way the world works.
I’m not quite ready to say what I plan to do in life.
There are so many things I want to try.

Community is sharing in something and working together to help each other out.
I’m a soccer player. I’m an actress. I’m in the politics club. I’m a member of Black Female Forum.
I really love being part of a group and making sure that everyone succeeds.
As a writer, I try to provide people with ways to think about things they wouldn’t usually consider.
Someday, I hope to publish a novel.

I’m interested in how things work.
I am an athlete. I am an artist. I am a musician.
I am a thinker. I am caring.
If I had to make a metaphor for myself,
it would be a penguin that always wanted
to see what was on the next iceberg.
