OUR MISSION
Gilman is a diverse community dedicated to educating boys in mind, body, and spirit through particular emphasis upon academic excellence, athletic participation, and aesthetic appreciation. Gilman seeks to produce men of character and integrity who have the skills and ability to make a positive contribution to the communities in which they live and work.
OUR COMMITMENT
Educating the Whole Boy
For more than a century, Gilman’s mission has remained exceedingly focused: to unlock the greatness within each boy by educating the entire boy—mind, body, and spirit. To accomplish that goal, we provide space and opportunity for crucial learning and self-expression to take place. We believe that boys experience transformative learning when they connect disciplines, people, and ideas in ways that deepen their sense of self and serve the needs of others.
Our rich and comprehensive program, our immeasurably talented and interesting faculty and students, and our belief in the character traits embodied by the Gilman Five—Honor, Integrity, Respect, Humility, and Excellence—combine to form the foundation of an educational environment dedicated to helping boys grow into men of character.
Community, Inclusion, and Equity
Gilman’s commitment to inclusion and equity is founded on the belief that our community is strengthened by the vibrant exchange that occurs when individuals with different backgrounds and heritages share their perspectives with one another. Through the recognition and acceptance of our many differences, we learn to appreciate and respect the complexity of the world in which we live and develop essential skills that help us forge productive relationships with those around us.
We are proud of our history as a school that has, for several generations, taken the lead on matters of diversity, inclusion, and equity. More than 40% of Gilman’s student body and 20% of the School’s faculty identify as people of color. We continue to build on that legacy through our steadfast commitment to inclusivity and equity and initiatives on local, state, and national levels.
OUR SCHOOL
Gilman School is a pre-kindergarten through twelfth-grade private independent day school for boys. Set on a 57-acre campus in the northern part of Baltimore City, Gilman serves roughly 1,000 students in three divisions. The School has a full-time faculty of nearly 140, and the average class size is 16 students.
PENN FELLOWSHIP
Gilman is a partner in the Penn Fellows Independent School Teaching Residency (ISTR), an innovative collaboration between the Graduate School of Education of the University of Pennsylvania and a consortium of the nation’s leading independent day schools.
The fellowship enables aspiring and early-career teachers, over the course of two years, to receive a master’s degree in education while completing a teaching fellowship at Gilman. With an innovative and comprehensive curriculum designed specifically for independent schools’ unique settings, the program features intensive on-site sessions in combination with innovative and collaborative distance learning.
Solidly grounded in both the theory and practice of teaching, the ISTR is designed to integrate the expertise of professional educators from a host of leading institutions, drawing on the perspectives of scholars and practitioners alike.
The program confers a Master of Science in Education (M.S. Ed.) and requires the completion of 10 course units over two years. Additionally, fellows complete an inquiry project and construct a final portfolio in their second year.
Applicants must first apply directly to Gilman. Once Gilman finalizes its selections, the prospective fellow will then—and only then—apply to Penn GSE. Applications submitted to Penn GSE without a recommendation from Gilman will not be considered.
