Welcome to The Bryn Mawr School
The Bryn Mawr School is an independent pre-kindergarten through 12th grade school for girls with a coed preschool and infant care located on a beautiful 26-acre campus in Baltimore, Maryland.
We believe in the delights and demands of learning—and we believe in our students. Through a transformational girls' education, expansive opportunities, a collaborative community, and a student experience focused on both living and learning well, Bryn Mawr provides the exceptional foundation young women need to create the lives they want to live.
Our Mission
The Bryn Mawr School inspires a passion for intellectual curiosity, emphasizes the delights and demands of learning, and nurtures the full potential of our young women in mind, body, and spirit. To prepare our students for lifelong learning and leadership, we are deeply committed to academic excellence, ethical decision-making, and the dignity of all people.
A Bryn Mawr education is grounded in the expectation that young women will be resilient in the face of complexity, ambiguity, and change; will become responsible and confident participants in the world; and will lead considered and consequential lives.
About Bryn Mawr
Exceptional Foundation. Remarkable Life.
Bold Since 1885
More than 130 years ago, we were founded by five young women who vowed to provide girls with the same educational benefits that boys received. Today, our founding mission endures.
Our Vision: Bryn Mawr, Beyond
Our strategic plan Bryn Mawr, Beyond, adopted in 2022, boldly reaffirms the school’s proud commitment to academic excellence while prioritizing the essential components of well-being and belonging for all students in our richly diverse community.
A Community of Belonging
The Bryn Mawr School is deeply committed to growing as a diverse, equitable, and inclusive learning community. We are dedicated to providing an education that is rooted in the ideals of equity and justice and that reflects the diverse identities, experiences, and voices of our students, families, employees, and alumnae.
A Proud History of Academic Excellence
At Bryn Mawr, it’s cool to be smart. And, we believe in a student experience in which well-being and excellence coexist. That means an education that is rooted in strong relationships integrates ambition and joy and allows girls to fully be themselves.
The Bryn Mawr Philosophy
In a joyous and supportive community, The Bryn Mawr School fosters critical thinking, creative expression, a sense of discovery, and honorable character. Through collaborative relationships among faculty, students, families, and alumnae, Bryn Mawr students and graduates feel safe to grow intellectually, to take risks, to communicate clearly, and to engage productively with their community.
Each student is known as an individual and celebrated for her contribution to the larger community. The school values the whole child, fosters the bold voices of students, and encourages intentional, compassionate use of those voices to make meaningful contributions to the world. Bryn Mawr teaches young women to face an increasingly complex world, to make informed choices, and to act responsibly in positive and ethical ways.
