Programs

Pre-Kindergarten – High School

Specialized classrooms for children aged three to 21 years are organized by age, grade, and ability. Students who have multiple disabilities, are medically fragile, or who have other serious health impairments are educated through an IEP-driven process. Students in grades three, eight, and ten participate in the Alternate Maryland State Assessment (Alt MSA). Health-related services are provided through Baltimore City Health Department’s school-based Health Center. This Center is staffed by a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner and BCHD nurses. Many students attend the Baer School with aid from private-duty nurses prescribed by their personal physician.
