St. Timothy's All Girls Boarding School Information:

St. Timothy's is a private school for girls in Maryland — serving boarding and day students grades 9–12 — with an unparalleled setting, strong community, comprehensive resources, and premier education based on the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IB).

At St. Timothy’s, our goal is to prepare students for lives of meaning and consequence. We provide a comprehensive and flexible academic program in a supportive, richly resourced, and beautiful setting. Boarding and day students – as well as our parents, alumnae, and friends – appreciate the individual attention, the community atmosphere, the spiritual richness, and the high standards that characterize the St. Timothy’s experience. Each member of our tight-knit community – students, faculty, and staff alike – have special talents and gifts that help fulfill the mission of the School.

Mission Statement

Founded in 1882, St. Timothy’s School is a college preparatory boarding and day school, preparing girls to assume positions of leadership with moral focus and courage, intellectual honesty and acumen, and the confidence to act responsibly and ethically in all areas of their lives. 

St. Timothy’s instills a passion for learning, and is committed to the formation of character, spiritual growth, social responsibility, and a respect for diversity. Such commitments are the hallmarks of our heritage; they illuminate our motto and guide our life together.

Diversity Statement

St. Timothy’s School believes that the presence of varied faiths, ethnic origins, races, socio-economic backgrounds, and cultures within our community creates a vibrant and internationally engaged environment.  This intricate tapestry of diverse experiences enriches the lives and learning of both students and adults. Girls come to understand the importance and excitement of different perspectives, and learn that they are truly part of a global community.

Philosophy Statement

Since 1882, St. Timothy’s School has been guided by our motto, “Truth without Fear,” and with integral core values centered around our mission, St. Timothy’s continues to educate young women. This distinctive culture equips young women with the knowledge, confidence, imagination, discipline, and integrity that make them effective leaders and capable citizens.

The primary goals of a St. Timothy’s education are to gain a disciplined mastery of studies and to engender an understanding of oneself and others.  Discovery is an integral part of this  process. Girls are challenged to embrace intellectual curiosity and discover for themselves a passion and joy in seeking knowledge. A rigorous, internationally focused curriculum enables students to make the connections between their lives and the world beyond our campus. Our interdisciplinary curriculum clearly links the arts to the other academic areas while challenging students to create and explore.
