At a time with so many outside influences defining who a girl should be, Oldfields provides a place free from that pressure—where girls can focus on who they are and what passions they wish to pursue. Research tells us that young women in single-gender schools have stronger self-esteem, greater self-confidence, broader leadership opportunities, and higher aspirations. Nothing could better describe an Oldfields girl. 
 

As Maryland’s first all-girls’ boarding school, we have a long history of forging opportunities for young women. Every Oldfields girl is—and always has been—encouraged to find her voice and to use it with confidence. Our girls are empowered to take risks and work hard to develop the strength of compassion, integrity and intellect they will need in college and beyond.
