Why Attend a Boys School?

Baltimore Collegiate School for Boys is the city’s first charter school exclusively catering to boys, providing a seamless academic journey from grades 4 to 8. This boys’ school fosters a mindset of academic prowess and nurtures interests in both the arts and athletics, particularly during the crucial middle school years.

Research indicates that all-boys schools

  • Promote high-level academic achievement.
  • Better recognize and address the specific developmental needs of boys.
  • Are more likely to encourage creativity among boys.

Reaching, Teaching, and Succeeding with Boys of Color

Baltimore Collegiate School for Boys’ strategic initiative, “Reaching, Teaching, and Succeeding with Boys of Color,” aims to integrate research-rich practices aligned with prominent academic partnerships. Our goal is to empower the next generation of young males to succeed in all aspects of life. We recognize the opportunity and responsibility to address the evolving needs of our boys and act as a catalyst for positive change. This initiative serves as a megaphone, raising awareness in a world that may not always hear their voices. We seek to engage with current and potential donors and strategic, like-minded partners to witness the triumphs of all our boys in their chosen paths in this world.
