About Our School

Baltimore School is located in the historic community of Ferryland on the Southern Shore, the Irish Heart of Newfoundland.  It takes its name from the great English explorer, Lord Baltimore who settled Ferryland in 1621.

The school was originally built in 1969, however due to an accidental fire in 1979 the school was totally destroyed and was rebuilt in 1980. Expansions which occurred in 1998 resulted in the schools present appearance. Baltimore School was originally built as a Senior High School, however today it encompasses all grades, Kindergarten to Level III. 

The present population of our school is 150 students, with a teaching staff of 18.75 and support staff of 4.  Our student population is bussed from 11 surrounding communities: Brigus South, Cape Broyle, Admiral’s Cove, Calvert, Ferryland, Aquafort, Fermeuse, Kingman’s Cove, Port Kirwan, Renews and Cappahayden.

A variety of programs are offered to our students, encompassing all Academics, Skilled Trades, Fabrication, Art, Sports, and Music.  The Music program includes an Elementary choir, Senior Choir, Instrumental program, and more.  Extra-curricular activities are a major component of the affective lives of our students.  Due to the unwavering support of staff, parents, and community members, we are able to offer Basketball, Softball, Hockey, GSA, and Cross-Country.  We also offer a full Breakfast Program to all students, as well as provide a recycling program for the communities.
