Oldfields School to Reopen in September Under New Ownership

Oldfields School, an all-girls private school located in Sparks Glencoe, Baltimore County, is set to reopen in September under new ownership. The school had announced in April 2023 that it would be closing at the end of the academic year after 156 years due to financial difficulties.

However, according to WBAL NewsRadio 1090 and FM 101.5, a group of parents and alumnae came together to save the school from closure. They formed a new board of directors and settled with the school’s former board, paving the way for the school to reopen in the fall.

The new board of directors has already begun working on plans to revitalize the school, including renovations to the campus and improvements to academic programs and extracurricular activities. The school will also launch a new fundraising campaign to ensure its long-term sustainability.

In a statement, the new board of directors expressed their excitement about the school’s reopening and commitment to providing a high-quality education for young women. “Oldfields School has a rich history and a bright future,” they said. “We are committed to ensuring that the school continues to provide a transformative educational experience for young women for generations to come.”
