School Visits Program

As a part of the Coalition’s professional development programming, participants have the opportunity to visit member schools in various cities to discover the diverse and innovative ways girls’ schools are moving the needle forward.

The School Visits Program complements ICGS in-person professional development programming, and registration is offered in conjunction with those events. School Visits opportunities are also open to non-Conference/Symposium attendees for participation. If you are not attending a Conference/Symposium but are interested in participating in the School Visits Program, please contact Jean Baker to register.

At The Bryn Mawr School we believe in the delights and demands of learning, we balance superior academics with a nurturing, supportive environment and we provide the exceptional foundation that prepares students to live considered and consequential lives. Come tour our 26 wooded acres at the heart of the Roland Park neighborhood of Baltimore, Maryland. We’d be happy to tell you about our signature Voice& program which inspires all students – from Little School through graduates – to develop clarity of thought, speak up, create change and make an impact by expanding opportunities for others. Hear about our LEAP program, an example of our intentional focus on ensuring deliberate transitions between divisions. Visit our Computer Science Department which utilizes the Creation Station, Maker Space and Innovation Lab to
emphasize problem-solving, computational thinking and collaboration using the latest emerging technology in courses like Machine Learning, Computational Creativity, Industrial Design, Data Systems and AP Computer Science. Meet members of our Student Support Services team dedicated to empowering all students to achieve success and personal wellness through development and support of their academic, social/emotional, and physical well-being.
At Roland Park Country School, we believe that young women who build each other up will thrive. There’s no hurdle too high for an RPCS girl because she has the collective support of her community lifting her toward her goals. While this spirit sets us apart from other schools, it’s the effect on our graduates that’s so remarkable: Roland Park Country School students develop a profound understanding of who they are and how to lead together to impact the world. At RPCS, students have endless possibilities to shape their learning. The Lower and Middle School curricula provide intentional scaffolding for creative, curious, and connected learning supported by co-curricular experiences in Visual and Performing Arts, Wellness, and STEAM. With innovative and unparalleled certificate programs in STEM, the Arts, World Language, and Leadership, our renowned signature programs in the Upper School invite students to develop their passions while simultaneously choosing from over 160 electives in our Tri-School partnership. We invite you to explore our 21-acre campus and learn why Roland Park Country School is a very special place, marked by a resilient spirit that has been the School’s hallmark since its inception over 120 years ago.
Garrison Forest School is an all girls, K-12 independent, nonsectarian, college- preparatory school in Owings Mills, Maryland with a coed preschool, and a national and international boarding program for girls in grades 8-12. The stunning 110-acre campus offers a program with a wealth of opportunities in Academics, the Arts, and Athletics.

Confident, creative and compassionate, GFS students are encouraged to be fully engaged as they develop their passions and their own authentic voices within a spirited and joyful environment. The recently launched Amabel Boyce ‘70 Center for Learning and Thriving is the hub for a holistic educational philosophy that focuses on each student’s growth and potential while ensuring their academic, social-emotional and overall wellness needs are met. While on campus, learn about our W.I.S.E. (Women in Science and Engineering) Program and visit our Outdoor Classroom, Equestrian Center, Polo Arena, and more.
Maryvale, a Catholic independent girls’ school serving grades six through 12 (ages 11-18), affiliated with the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, provides an environment in which each student can reach her academic, spiritual, physical and civic potential in a loving, supportive and diverse community. Building upon its unique and special heritage, Maryvale’s mission is to provide an exceptional education that responds to change and prepares young women for life.

Maryvale’s college-like campus, featuring an outdoor amphitheater, sprawling woods, nature trails and a waterfall, provides the perfect setting for a living classroom. Located on 100-plus acres in the Greenspring Valley, Maryvale’s campus with sprawling woods, nature trails, streams and waterfalls is an idyllic setting for a school. The centerpiece of the picturesque campus is Wickcliffe Castle, modeled after Warwick Castle in Warwickshire, England. With our manageable student to faculty ratio (9:1), innovative teaching methods and flexible curriculum, we are able to provide the individualized approach each girl needs to excel in all aspects of her education.
