Summer 2023 launches the newest partnership between south Baltimore City’s Francis Scott Key’s (FSK) and North Baltimore’s St. Paul’s Schools.

FSK is a public Pre-K through 8th grade school in Locust Point, focused on developing the whole child. The St. Paul’s Schools is a preschool through 12th grade independent school located on a 120 acre campus in Baltimore County. St. Paul’s prides itself on a small-school environment with the opportunities that a large campus can provide.

Each Middle Grades Partnership program is wholly designed by teachers from a Baltimore City public school and its partner private school. All Middle Grades Partnership programs embody these principles:

• Creative, exciting and experienced teachers from public and private schools leading each classroom
• Rigorous and rewarding academic and enrichment activities during 150 hours of summer programming, with a strong focus on building skills in algebra, writing and reading
• Projects during the school year that bring students from both schools together to better understand themselves and their city, and to make a difference in their communities.
