Mission & Values
Empowerment
The BLSYW Way
The BLSYW Way embodies leadership, girl power, college readiness, high expectations, and a strong support network. Through academics and social-emotional learning, BLSYW students are taught to develop a strong sense of self, sisterhood, compassion, and good decision-making.
Achieving Excellence Together
BLSYW is a college preparatory school with an emphasis on leadership, academic excellence, and enrichment in a single-sex environment.
Our program demonstrates a strong commitment to math, science, and technology—fields where women are underrepresented and where Maryland needs to cultivate a strong knowledge base and workforce—as well as to the arts and humanities which teach students to appreciate and engage critically the world that they will lead.
