Vision: Mount Royal students will unlock their individual, exceptional abilities in order to choose how they will make the community and world a better place.

 

Mission: We will provide the Mount Royal School community an equitable environment where it is encouraged and safe for students to take academic risks that help them identify and build skills, interests, and confidence that they can carry and apply in our communities.

ACADEMICS AT MT. ROYAL
​

Gifted and Advanced Learning

​Gifted and Talented Education services are available to students in Grades K-12 throughout Maryland. Multiple criteria are reviewed to identify students who need high-end services within an authentic curriculum of rigorous performance expectations. 

​

Advanced Academics/Honors

In our highly selective Honors and Advanced Academic classes, students benefit from a rigorous common core, college preparatory curriculum. Mt. Royal is one of 10 schools implementing SpringBoard in English Language Art, written and published by CollegeBoard. Students in these Advanced and Honors classes complete the curriculum of the grade level above in ELA and math. Students' grades will be weighted more heavily toward high school composite scores.

The Ingenuity Project

The Ingenuity Project is a highly competitive program for 6th-8th graders.  Students are exposed to a  rigorous curriculum for Science and Math.  Students take Singapore Math, Life Science, Earth Science, and Physics.

 

The Ingenuity Project is a joint effort of the Baltimore City Public School System, The Abell Foundation, and Baltimore’s science and mathematics community. Ingenuity is committed to ensuring the program reflects the ethnicity, gender, and income of Baltimore City households by recruiting and cultivating students with high potential and interest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) from historically underserved populations.
