In addition to core academics, students explore the visual and performing arts, engage in outdoor education, take part in service-learning projects, and participate in athletics. Our students gain confidence, self-esteem, and self-awareness. BLS students thrive in small classes with an exceptionally low teacher-student ratio with highly trained teachers and full-time on-site occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, and social workers. Baltimore Lab School approaches education from a completely unique perspective and every student at BLS receives a high level of individual attention.
