[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Wilkes School is a less pricey alternative to the Roland Park private schools and also very convenient for people living/working downtown. [/quote]

NP. Do you have recent experience with Wilkes? If so, do you mind sharing? I am curious about it, but have not heard much about the school. [/quote]

I’ve lived in Baltimore for twenty years, have kids currently in Baltimore private’s, and have never heard of the Wilkes school.  Draw your own conclusion[/quote]

It used to be called Grace and St. Peter's but they changed the name sometime after 2005 when I interviewed for a teaching position there. I liked it but it is definitely traditional. It reminded me a bit of a traditional Catholic school in its teaching methods. The class sizes are small and I believe they are departmentalized after 1st or 2nd grade so each teacher is a specialist. If I lived closer, I would have thought about it for my DS. It is lacking in outdoor space since it is located near Mt. Vernon in Baltimore (think lots of row homes). But they are close to the Peabody, the Walters and the Enoch Pratt library so I think they take frequent walking field trips. [/quote]

I have heard of Grace and Saint Peter’s.  Weird move to change the name.[/quote]
