The Magic of Childhood
A Baltimore private school rooted in wonder, purpose, and connection. At the Waldorf School of Baltimore, we educate the whole child—head, heart, and hands—through a joyful, arts-integrated curriculum from preschool through 8th grade. In our inclusive, nature-rich community, children grow intellectually, creatively, and ethically, emerging with the confidence to meet the world with curiosity and compassion.

This year’s 8th grade class play, Baskerville, is one of those rare performances where you genuinely forget you are watching middle school students. To find their killer, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson must unravel a tangled mystery before a family curse claims its newest heir… but the real marvel is watching seven students leap, spin, disguise, accent-shift, and transform their way through more than 40 wildly distinct characters.
