TOWSON - Oldfields, an all-girls private school in Sparks Glencoe, announced that it will close for good at the end of the 2022-2023 academic year.
In a press release on Wednesday, the school said that "recent trends and obstacles," including the COVID-19 pandemic, have created "unique challenges" for the school's financial stability.
Oldfields' beautiful 140-acre campus will close, and the property will be sold.
In the release, the school also announced a potential partnership with Garrison Forest School in Owings Mills. Under the plan, current Oldfields students would be able to easily transition to attending Garrison Forest.
According to the press release, the partnership makes sense because both schools are "known for delivering an excellent educational experience and impact for young women."
"Oldfields School and Garrison Forest School, all-girls, day and boarding schools with rich histories and traditions of excellence, intend to provide a long-lasting, powerful, and impactful educational experience for girls," Oldfields wrote.
Oldfields was founded in 1867 by Anna Austen McCulloch, who established the school's values of "family, mission, philosophy, and a culture of kindness," according to the school's website.
Over the past century and a half, the school grew into a girls-only middle and high school offering boarding for students from around the world.
Partly cloudy, with a high of 74 and low of 55 degrees. Partly cloudy for the morning, sunny for the afternoon, overcast overnight.
Well maybe just maybe, the committee thought it was time for some new blood and since Ms Johnson has already served on the board before , to pass on her. Why do we spend so much time on diversity instead on educating our children ??
Awesome. More money thrown at the useless parents who are also teachers. Teachers who can waste tax payer money on how to make them non productive , useless angry liberals that live in mom and dads basement forever
If the can’t keep the good bus drivers , what kind of Teachers are staying to referee. I know that there are great kids out there but they are outnumbered by trouble. Reading Writing, Spelling , Math. And how about Teaching Civics.
Useless waste of the office again . Brown tries to look good. About all he is good for
