Our Mission:
Oldfields School is committed to the intellectual and moral development of young women. In a culture of kindness and mutual respect, we encourage each student to make the most of her academic and personal potential. We guide each student to grow in character, confidence, and knowledge by encouraging her to embrace the values of personal honesty, intellectual curiosity, and social responsibility.
Our Motto:
Courage, Humility, and Largeness of Heart Oldfields School
Founded in 1867 by Anna Austen McCulloch, Oldfields continues to reflect her desire to provide young women with the opportunity to make the most of their academic and personal potential. The goal of Oldfields is to provide a family-like environment in which students can best develop intellectually, ethically, and socially. As a school, Oldfields has a rich history of retaining its core values and traditions. The values of mutual respect, kindness, integrity, curiosity, and social responsibility have been and continue to be central to our educational program. Encouraging and guiding each girl towards the realization of her individual potential remains our fundamental approach to learning both within and beyond the classroom.
Oldfields is known for its student tailored, college-preparatory curriculum, and nurturing family-like environment. Inside and outside of the classroom, our focus is each girl’s success. 100% of our graduating seniors are consistently accepted to numerous colleges and universities across the globe. Fine and performing arts, athletics, dance, and an equestrian program are available, as are extensive weekend activities. One hundred percent of faculty and students have laptop computers. With over 1500 internet ports and seven SMART Boards™ (touch-sensitive white boards that offer connections to our network via computer, thereby opening classrooms to an abundance of resources, including the Internet), technology is widely accessible. Overseas and off-campus experiential programs are offered in May.
Our current student body includes students from Bogota, Korea, Mexico, Nigeria, United Kingdom, China, Vietnam, India, Jordan, Bahamas, Taiwan, and Jamaica. In all, 18% of our student population is international.
The 230-acre pastoral campus is located just 25 miles north of Baltimore, with convenient access to cultural and recreational activities there as well as in Washington and Philadelphia.
In the 2010-2011 school year, Oldfields will be opening the Middle School at Oldfields for 6th and 7th grade day students, making us a 6-12 & PG school.
