Baltimore Talent Development High School's Policies

We, the faculty and staff of The Baltimore Talent Development High School, believe that education is a partnership between the school, students, parents, and community. All of these stakeholders must be willing participants in a commitment to educational excellence.

We believe that the purpose of a secondary education is to develop and nurture in each generation the knowledge, skills, and ideals essential for a foundation of self-assur­ance, independence of thought and self-discipline that produce a conf ident life-long learner. This belief ensures the advancement of society in the American democratic process.

We believe that the progress of our nation is predicated upon the results of intellectual and ethical development.

While scientific and technological advancement provide the means for competitiveness in the global market, moral and ethical values provide the foundation of responsible citizenship that allows us to appreciate diver­sity while recognizing our common aspirations.

We believe that as a citywide, competitive, college preparatory, secondary school, The Baltimore Talent Development High School serves the interests of the community by equipping students for leadership roles in a technological society. We prepare students for further studies in the fields of Arts and Communications or Science and Technology while simultaneously providing a rigorous academic program.
