Baltimore District and Curriculum
As of 2012, the Baltimore County Public Schools have adopted the Common Core Standard curriculum which is a progressive educational program that starts at the elementary level and develops skills in Language Arts, Science, Social Studies, and Math as students move through the grades.
In Math, elementary school students learn the foundation of math skills including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, decimals, and whole numbers. Middle school students will move on learning Algebra, Geometry and the theories of probability and statistics building on the skills they learned in elementary school. The application of math skills is what is emphasized at the high school level and students develop abilities in areas such as mathematical modeling as it is applied in real world pursuits.

Fort McHenry National Monument
Fort McHenry National Monument is one of the top historical destinations in Baltimore. During the war of 1812, Fort McHenry was used as a base and helped stop a British Advance into the city.

The actions of the 1000 Americans at Fort McHenry inspired Francis Scott Key, who was at that time a lawyer, author and amateur poet, to write what would later become the national anthem of the United States. What we now know as “The Star Spangled Banner”, was originally called “Defense of Fort McHenry”. The area that contains Fort McHenry has been administered by the National Park Service since 1933, and is the only area of the National Park System designated as a National Monument and a Historic Shrine. Fort McHenry is open to the public year-round and also offers programs and special events that showcase the park’s history.
