Dear Baltimore Collegiate School for Boys Families,

Welcome to the 2023–2024 school year! We are thrilled to welcome our students and staff back to school. We hope that you were able to relax and make special memories with your friends and families. And for our guys who experienced our Summer Boost program, we are excited that you will be returning with a fresh snapshot of what our expectations are for this upcoming year.

Baltimore Collegiate School for Boys is such a special place for boys to learn and grow. We are proud of our summer beautification projects and have high expectations for each and every Gent. Together with our dedicated staff, we strive to make connections with the Gents to help them feel valued, accepted, and safe. Our Baltimore Collegiate School for Boys model will continue to guide our mission to provide a rigorous and inclusive school environment.

Partnering with families is crucial to promote a healthy transition to school both socially and emotionally. We encourage families to stay connected and informed by following our website and announcements sent through Infinite Campus, School Mint, and/or Class Dojo.
