The Boys' Latin School of Maryland is the state's oldest independent, non-sectarian all-boys School. Students in kindergarten through 12th grade provide a rigorous, college-preparatory curriculum that focuses on building 21st-century skills and empowers each boy to achieve his true excellence. The Boys' Latin School of Maryland instills the core values of courage, integrity, and compassion in each boy as embodied in our motto, Esse Quam Videri (to be, rather than to seem). By understanding how boys learn best, our talented faculty fosters enduring personal relationships and empowers each student to strive for academic and personal excellence. Boys' Latin offers a rich and rigorous academic and co-curricular program that prepares young men for the 21st century's opportunities. The School welcomes students from diverse backgrounds and educates them in a supportive, student-centered environment. Boys' Latin is accredited by AIMS (Association of Independent Maryland & DC Schools) and a member of NAIS (National Association of Independent Schools) and IBSC (International Boys' Schools Coalition). As Maryland's oldest, independent and nonsectarian, college preparatory school for boys, Boys' Latin was founded on the belief in our motto Esse Quam Videri (To Be, Rather Than To Seem). More than 175 years later, each one of us - administrators, teachers, coaches, and students - continues to strive for and expect this TRUE EXCELLENCE from one another every day. Our collective success in this school-defining enterprise is evident in the corps of great men of character and talent who call themselves Lakers. Their life achievements have helped advance virtually every field and industry. One pioneered the use of penicillin. Another established one of our nation's most successful financial institutions. A recent graduate interned with NASA and is developing robotic devices, while another is determined to reinvent the hospitality industry. All are remarkable. It all started here. Much more vital than our facilities and student body changes is the national leadership role Boys' Latin assumes among independent schools. We have set standards for student academic self-confidence and emotional well-being, a model peer culture, and excellence in faculty support. Throughout our history, we have always known that our students come to our School with distinctive talents and differences in learning styles. We have always worked tirelessly to ensure developmentally-appropriate, culturally-attuned, and individually-tailored learning experiences for every boy since our beginnings - more than 170 years ago. Boys' Latin offers an environment like no other. Here, there is no one-size-fits-all program. Our students thrive in an environment where they have room to see where their academic curiosity takes them, flex their creative muscles, and discover talents they never suspected they even had. But perhaps what our boys value most of all: they become part of a unique lifelong brotherhood, exclusive in all the best senses of the word. Boys learn best by doing. That is why we focus on experiential, hands-on learning that appeals to different senses, involves action and movement, and produces tangible outcomes. A prime example is our trout release every spring. To learn about ecosystems, lower school students raise trout and then release their newly hatched babies into nearby Lake Roland waters. Boys' Latin approach to education is purposefully single-sex. Extensive research shows that boys learn differently from girls, and we know that boys learn best when their unique interests and distinctive talents are taken into account. Over almost 175 years, Boys' Latin has developed unparalleled expertise in creating a school community where boys thrive. At Boys' Latin, we honor how boys think and learn. We understand that boys need to know why something is important. In leveraging what motivates them, we prioritize developmentally-appropriate, hands-on experiential learning that appeals to different senses, involves action and movement, and produces tangible outcomes. Our educational programs are tailored to help boys gain confidence in their ability to learn and grow at their own pace in becoming men of character and values. They are taught, advised, and coached by faculty hired because they want to work with boys. With a student-faculty ratio of 7:1 and small class sizes, our School creates myriad opportunities for personal attention and individual interactions. Here, every boy is cherished and loved. Boys' Latin provides an atmosphere and tailored programming for boys to explore sensitive issues. In doing so, students here are not distracted as in traditional, co-educational environments by trying to live up to the gender stereotypes so prevalent in the media and society at large. Boys' Latin is committed to providing a stimulating, supportive and safe learning environment that encourages self-expression, respect for a wide range of interests and talents, and active participation in academics, the arts, athletics, and community service. Our students feel secure to take challenges and realize their boundless possibilities. View full school

Notre Dame of Maryland University's education approach has prepared thousands of high performers and instigators of social change for more than a century. We are consistently responsive to the needs of a student body hungry to learn and a world hungry for knowledgeable, compassionate leaders.

We offer Maryland's only women's college, as well as certificate, undergraduate, graduate, and Ph.D. programs for women and men.

In the summer of 1847, Mother Mary Theresa of Jesus Gerhardinger, foundress of the SSNDs, traveled to America with five sisters on a mission to educate those neglected by society — poor girls and women. Soon the SSNDs were teaching in four schools, including three in downtown Baltimore. By 1871 the sisters selected a beautiful 33-acre site in North Baltimore that would accommodate its burgeoning student populations and future expansion. In 1873, Notre Dame of Maryland Collegiate Institute, educating elementary and high school-aged girls, opened on Charles Street, where the present University is located today. As the turn of the century neared, the SSNDs had developed an international reputation for their teaching quality and rigor. For more than a century, Notre Dame's 22,000 alumnae and alumni have gone on to lead extraordinary lives of service and achievement. They have built buildings and families, made scientific discoveries, run for office and in marathons, become military leaders and SSNDs, served as CEOs and in soup kitchens. Their lives prove time and again the powerful legacy of the founding SSNDs, whose mission remains: Transforming the world through education. View full university

The University supports the Maryland State plan to develop a highly qualified workforce for the State's economic growth and vitality by serving as a focal point for the advanced training of elementary, junior, and senior high school teachers and students in marine sciences. As such, UMES is an ideal venue for field trips and instruction for the UMES/Salisbury University dual degree program in biology and environmental sciences. Coupled with the UMES MEES program are excellent facilities, which prepare post-secondary students for careers in research and public policy that support a sustainable harvest and conservation of the state's and nation's living marine resources. The University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES), the State's Historically Black 1890 Land¬ Grant Institution, is a teaching, research, and doctoral institution that nurtures and launches leaders in a student-centered environment. Committed to providing high-quality programs in an ethnically diverse environment, the University prepares students who will serve and shape the global economy. UMES is a growing, primarily residential university with a mission focused on learning, discovery, and engagement. This is consistent with valuing the faculty's scholarship in discovering new knowledge and disseminating and applying it to the extended community. The University recognizes its responsibility for developing human potential, enriching cultural expressions, and sharing its expertise with individuals, businesses, educational, governmental, and non-governmental organizations. These aspirations are by UMES' legacy and mission as Maryland's 1890 Land-Grant Institution. Founded in 1886 under the United Methodist Church's aegis, UMES is proud of its long history of continuous educational service. One of the original purposes of the land-grant institutions, citizens' education for life in the American economy (then, mostly rural, but now more diverse), included agriculture and mechanical arts disciplines. UMES continues to embrace the original purposes and its current expansions to include the liberal arts, scientific, business, technological, and education and cooperative ventures with foreign universities, governmental and non¬ governmental organizations, and private industries. Through the University of Maryland Extension Service and the Agriculture Experiment Station, UMES works collaboratively with the University of Maryland College Park, the 1862 land-grant institution. The University's expanding instructional technology infrastructure supports the increasing externally funded research grants generated by campus personnel. Quick responses to the economic and educational needs of the region and the State characterize the role that the University plays. The Hospitality and Tourism Management (HTM) Program's provision of well-trained personnel for State and national tourism industry and faculty researchers' work related to conservation and use of natural resources, including water, plant, and animal diversity, exemplify this responsiveness. The Rural Development Center provides timely responses to businesses and government requests for financial, technical, managerial, organizational, and internet assistance. The seafood, poultry, and fresh produce initiatives help firms develop procedures that maximize the quality, safety, and profitability of food products through applied research, certified training, and educational materials. UMES engages in numerous collaborative efforts to (a) increase access and opportunity for a broad spectrum of students, including the economically and educationally disadvantaged, low¬ income adult learners, and first-generation college students and (b) to meet other state needs. Collaborative educational connections with local school systems address the Professional Development Schools, The Redesign of Teacher Education (including the PreK-16 initiative), and other programs. For instance, UMES and Salisbury University collaboratively operate the Master of Arts in Teaching, the dual degree in Sociology/Social Work, and Biology/Environmental Science Programs. UMES provides Special Education Programs, a teaching area of great State and national need, on the Eastern Shore at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The University also has the only Agricultural Education and Technology Education Programs in Maryland. Access to the Salisbury-Ocean City Airport allows the Engineering and Aviation Sciences programs to establish strong airport personnel links. The University of Maryland Eastern Shore opened its doors Sept. 13, 1886, when it was known initially as the Delaware Conference Academy under the Methodist Episcopal Church's auspices. Greeting the nine students who showed up that Monday were two educators, Benjamin O. Bird and his wife, Portia Lovett Bird. The University of Maryland Eastern Shore is home to five schools: Agricultural and Natural Sciences Business and Technology Education, Social Sciences and the Arts Graduate Studies and Pharmacy and Health Professions.

We have over 500 children from 34 countries representing 60+ different languages. Well, we are widely recognized as being pioneers in curriculum innovation, carrying out international educational research for the benefit of this school and many other schools within the locality. We are renowned for our award-winning outdoor environment (Cluckingham Palace, Nature’s Garden, Negril Beach, etc) which provides unique learning opportunities for our inner-city students. We are one of only a handful of schools that hold the prestigious Royal Horticultural 5 star Award. We are a model school for Oxford University Press in the teaching of the successful literacy program, Read Write Inc. In addition to our academic success, we are a model school for integrating technology. We continually achieve one of the highest attendance rates in Newham because our children love coming to school. Many pupils take part in music tuition after school hours, as well as maths and English classes after school, on Saturdays and in the holidays. Finally, we are a school that lives its motto to prepare children for the future. We inspire our pupils with unique opportunities e.g. meeting Major Tim Peake, astronaut Alan Titchmarsh, horticulturalists international research Professors, and of course Olympic athletes, a legacy from our involvement in the 2012 Olympics. We ensure our children have ambition, that they are successful learners, and that they enjoy each day that they spend with us at Maryland. Maryland Primary School continues to lead the Critical Thinking Skills project in Newham and this will be an important focus of our work this year, alongside our long-term plan about integrating ICT into the curriculum in new and innovative ways. As a result, we now have our stand-alone website, wE-PUBLISH, established to showcase children’s writing across the school. We have embarked on an exciting journey using the web-based tools provided by Google. We hope to see an improvement in a wide range of areas, such as pupil progress, engagement, independence, resilience, and collaboration. Maryland is one of the first primary schools in Newham to start using these tools and is active in supporting schools interested in exploring the benefits this approach has. Maryland Primary School is a multi-cultural school that takes seriously its duty of laying the foundation for preparing children for adult life beyond formal education in Britain. Maryland pupils are given the opportunity of practical experience of democracy in the yearly Head Boy and Girl elections. Candidates campaign for their post and hustings are held before elections take place. At Maryland School, we believe that by promoting fundamental British Values, every individual within our school community will continue to be treated with courtesy, fairness, and respect. We hope that our pupils will continue to recognize the importance of equality, inclusion, and diversity as they move toward becoming an adult in modern Britain. Maryland School is an inclusive school that ensures adequate provision and access to all areas of school life for all pupils including those with special needs. We acknowledge that pupils may have special educational needs either throughout or at any time during their school career. View full school
