Gilman School is an independent all-boys school located in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Founded in 1897 as the Country School for Boys, it was the first country day school in the United States. It has continuously been an all-boys school (presently grades pre-first to 12, with kindergarten beginning in the fall of 2009), although it now holds some Upper School classes with two adjacent all-girls schools: Roland Park Country School and Bryn Mawr School.

Gilman is widely regarded^{[weasel words]} as one of the best and most prestigious schools^{[peacock prose]} in the state of Maryland. Its graduates are noted for being intensely loyal to the institution and other alumni. For example, approximately 80% of the School's Board of Trustees are graduates of the School, one of the highest percentages of any school in the United States. ^{[citation needed]}

History

Gilman was founded as The Country School for Boys by Baltimore resident Anne Galbraith Carey, with assistance from Daniel Coit Gilman (the first president of Johns Hopkins University). The school opened its doors on September 30, 1897 on the Homewood mansion on the Johns Hopkins campus. In 1910, the Country School moved to its current 68-acre (275,000 m²) campus in Roland Park and changed its name to The Gilman Country School for Boys. In 1951, "Country" was dropped. ^[1]

Gilman has two "sister" schools: Roland Park Country School, across Roland Avenue from Gilman to the west, and Bryn Mawr School, across Northern Parkway from Gilman to the north. All three schools coordinate some Upper School (grades 9-12) classes to the extent that some classes have students from all three schools.

Mission

Gilman School 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. -excerpt from the school handbook ^{[citation needed]}

Academics

Gilman School has a rigorous college-preparatory curriculum.^{[citation needed]} In addition, the school has a comprehensive honor system ^{[citation needed]}, a community service program, an assembly program, and many leadership opportunities. ^{[citation needed]}

Athletics

Gilman is well-known locally, regionally and nationally for its tradition of athletic success. Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page). Overall, the school sponsors 16 sports; most teams have varsity and JV programs, while some have fresh-soph and/or middle school squads. ^[2] Gilman is perhaps best-known for its success in football and lacrosse. The football team has won eight Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) "A" Conference championships in the last 11 seasons.^[3] The 2005 team was ranked 12th in the nation in USA Today's Super 25 high school football poll. ^[4] In addition to the 2005 team, the 2002 team was ranked #14 in the USA Today Poll.^[5]

The lacrosse team, led by coach Brooks Matthews, was ranked #1 in the country by LaxPower at the conclusion of the 2008 season. ^[6] The team has captured a remarkable 14 "A" conference titles in MIAA. ^[7]

During the 2005-06 school year, six Gilman varsity squads (football, golf, ice hockey, squash, tennis & track and field) won conference titles. In 2008-09, the volleyball team won its first MIAA title, while the squash and swimming teams also won conference championships.

Gilman's biggest rival is the McDonogh School ^[8], located in suburban Owings Mills. A football game between the two schools has taken place every fall since 1914. ^[9] Gilman leads this series, 55-32-5, including a loss in the most recent game.
