Over my experience at Baltimore Design has been great. It took me a while to get accustomed to the environment but that's typical of an incoming freshman. I will say that I do see a lot of the kids, of all grades, enjoy and make the most of what the school has to offer.

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.

Baltimore design school was an interesting experience. I made many freinds however the school is not run very well. The teachers are a hit or miss.
