Baltimore Leadership School for Young Women (BLSYW) is a college preparatory school with an emphasis on leadership and academic excellence and enrichment in a single sex environment. We are a public charter school that serves 6th-12th grade girls. Our program demonstrates a strong commitment to math, science and technology – fields where women are underrepresented and where Maryland needs to cultivate a strong knowledge base and workforce – as well as to the arts and humanities which teach students to appreciate and engage critically the world that they will lead.
