Summer Opportunities

Baltimore Lab School (BLS) is an innovative learning community fostering scholarship and creativity in students with a variety of learning disabilities and ADHD. In an environment of inquiry and hands-on exploration, BLS students learn to advocate for themselves as they become engaged and compassionate members of a global society.

All BLS employees are dedicated to the education and growth of students with learning differences. Our staff is collaborative, caring professionals who provide the best education possible to our students. They achieve this through implementing an arts-infused, project-based curriculum that adheres to Common Core standards. The BLS Summer Program provides certified teachers, related service providers, and instructional assistants employment in an extended school year setting that is fun, engaging, and supportive.

BLS strives to hire a diverse staff in order to prepare students to be global citizens by exposing them to people from different cultures and social groups, along with the opportunity to affirm students' cultural identities and enhance the learning environment. This can also provide employees with an opportunity to work, learn, and grow with a diverse group of people.
