The Baldwin School

What The Baldwin School does

The Baldwin School is a private, nonprofit, all-girls college preparatory institution founded in 1888 by Florence Baldwin, operating from a single historic campus at 701 Montgomery Avenue in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. It serves students from Pre-K through Grade 12 across Lower, Middle, and Upper School divisions, with 51–100 employees and a faculty base in which 80% hold advanced degrees. The school reports 4,200+ alumnae, 51% students of color, and is currently ranked #1 among Pennsylvania all-girls high schools and #1 private K-12 school in the state.

Academically, the school delivers a college preparatory curriculum including AP and Advanced Topics courses, supported by a DREAM Lab (STEAM), the Anne Frank Library, and a dedicated College Counseling office led by a former University of Pennsylvania Associate Dean of Admissions. Co-curricular offerings include 100+ programs, clubs, and team sports across grades 6–12, a Baldwin Conservatory music program, theater and visual arts, and competitive athletics within the Inter-Academic Athletic League; a $4M turf field opened in May 2026 alongside a strategic partnership with Longstreth Sporting Goods to expand field hockey programming.

Revenue is generated primarily through tuition and fees on a recurring subscription model, supplemented by annual giving (The Baldwin Fund), an endowment, and Summer at Baldwin day camps and specialty programs. The institution is governed by a Board of Trustees, led by Head of School Lynne Macziewski, and operates with no parent company or institutional investors. It uses standard educational technology platforms (myschoolapp.com, learning management systems, library digital resources) with no disclosed proprietary AI or technology systems.
