Baltimore County residents are fortunate to have access to one of the nation’s top educational systems. The
county’s committed public schools, range of private alternatives and opportunities for higher education are
second to none. The Baltimore County Public Schools are dedicated to providing a quality, comprehensive
educational program designed to address the needs of a diverse student population. Building on current
successes, the system’s Blueprint for Progress outlines the vision, mission, belief statements, performance
goals, performance indicators and key strategies.
The Blueprint for Progress, a framework for improving student achievement, provides clear direction for
everyone involved in education in Baltimore County. The Blueprint for Progress is built on a foundation of
clear standards, quality instruction and individual accountability. Implementing this blueprint is essential to
meeting state and national standards and accomplishes the goals of increased student achievement and
continuous school improvement.
Furthermore, the Chamber has an Education Committee that is comprised of local educators from the public
and private sector and members of the business community who work together to promote communication
between both groups for the good of the community. The focus of the committee is to foster working
relationships between educators and business leaders, which, in turn, affect the youth in our schools and
community. A shared vision enables the committee to learn, develop and study ways that will enhance the
outlook of our youth.
A number of technical, private and parochial schools are also available in the area.
