Maryvale offers a nationally recognized, best-in-class Leadership curriculum that touches every student on campus.
Leadership Starts at Maryvale
Leadership education for girls has been at the center of the Maryvale experience for nearly 80 years. Since our founding, we have been empowering young women leaders at every grade level with leadership skills and hands-on leadership experience.
Ten years ago, Maryvale launched The Leadership Institute, our signature academic leadership program. We’re the first independent girls’ school leadership program in the Baltimore region. Named in 2023 for Patricia J. Mitchell ’65, Maryvale’s first woman and alumna president of the Board of Trustees, the Mitchell Leadership Institute encompasses academic training, real-life experience, and immense opportunity to develop exemplary leadership skills that will catapult young women ahead in college, career, and life.
