Founded in 1912, the Park School of Baltimore is a private, coeducational, progressive day school for grades pre-Kindergarten through 12th. Opened on September 30, 1912, the school was situated in a three-story townhouse in the Auchntoroly Terrace Historic District that's across from Druid Hill Park. It accepted all religions and had an enrollment of 98 students. In 1954, it became the first private school in the city to accept applications from any families that had suitable interests and ambitions, after the desegregating public school decision made in the U.S. Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education. In 1955, black students were seen attending the school.
Over the years, the Park School of Baltimore relocated to two areas – Liberty Heights Ave. in 1917 and its current 100-acre campus on Old Court Rd. in 1959. In 1997, renovations done to the school added a new wing for science, technology and mathematics. In 2001, an Athletic Center was constructed. Two years later, a new visual and dramatic arts wing was also developed.

The school has moved five times over the past 172 years. In 1952, it moved to its current grounds on Falls Rd. The 120-acre rural campus features the focal point building of "Brooklandwood." The mansion was built by Charles Carroll of Carrollton – a devout Roman Catholic who was the wealthiest man in the U.S. at the time and a signer of the Declaration of Independence – in 1793. Maintained by the National Park Service of the U.S. Department of the Interior, the mansion was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1972.
