This school does little to protect its students, but it does ensure we're prepared to leave the first chance we get. While it could do better in terms of actually teaching the work we need to know for our end-of-the-year tests, and making sure we understand it, they do assure we have everything we need to go off to college and actually learn for once.

I started Baltimore design school in middle school, I was 11 years old. The people and staff were warm and welcoming and I felt at peace coming to the school just transferring from elementary. I'm glad that I stayed at bds because I feel like I've grow as a person since I stayed. I now do a lot more than what my past self would be comfortable doing, like running events, and staffing school related events as well. My time at bds is something to remember and also a place that helped me untrue my skills as an artist.

It's a nice building and it has a lot of space. The teachers actually care about the students and check up on them if they seem to be having a hard time.
