Alex Frisch
“We have been so pleased with St. Timothy's! IB curriculum, students from all over the world and Baltimore, fantastic Theory of Knowledge trips e.g. Broadway Plays, New York Botanical Gardens, Washington, D.C. embassies...opportunities to make and play on teams, brand new Five Arts building, wonderful school traditions (have you ever played basketball by the year 1894 rules?), and a MEAL PLAN with breakfast, lunch, and dinner included for a day student tuition that is comparable to other local private schools. Love it!”

“My husband and I wanted our daughter to benefit from a girls’ school education. As immigrants, we were also concerned about our daughter studying in an environment where she will be valued as an individual. We visited a few girls’ boarding schools, but the moment we set foot on St. Timothy’s campus, we knew this was the place for our daughter! After four years of nurturing and leadership opportunities at St. Timothy’s, our quiet daughter became a confident and articulate young lady who is ready to take on the world. Sending our daughter to St. Timothy’s is one of the best decisions we have ever made!”

Mr. and Mrs. Smith
David Smith P'26"Ellie was looking for a school with a strong sense of community and curious learners. As educators, we wanted to find a school that would “see” our daughter as an individual with strengths and challenges and push her personally, academically, and athletically. We chose St. Timothy’s. During her freshman year, she travelled with the school to Morocco and left the country for the first time. She learned what it's like to be a visitor in another country and what her international classmates feel when they leave home to come to St. Timothy's. Subsequent travel opportunities to the UAE and United Kingdom have sparked a passion for culture, architecture, and politics. The International Baccalaureate curriculum coupled with a knowledgeable and caring faculty, challenged her to develop as a student, a thinker, and a global citizen. As she enters her senior year, she is a curious and confident learner. St. Timothy’s athletic program has given opportunities for Ellie to gain exceptional experience as a leader and competitor in three seasons of sports. Finally, the St. Timothy’s community is unlike anything we have seen or could have ever anticipated. The traditions, carefully planned and carried out by the administration and students, make the girls feel part of something truly special. St. Timothy’s is a mixing bowl of culture and curiosity baked in a tradition of community and care. If your daughter is ready to take the leap, there is so much here for her to explore."
