Maryvale Preparatory School

Maryvale Preparatory School is a Catholic independent girls' school in Lutherville, Maryland, enrolling 300–500 students in grades six through twelve. Affiliated with the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, it operates as a day school where faculty build sustained relationships with students across multiple years of enrollment. The school's mission emphasizes academic rigor alongside spiritual formation and civic engagement, shaping how teachers design courses and mentor young women during formative adolescent years.

The day-school model differs significantly from boarding work. Teachers commute rather than live on campus, and evening commitments are lighter. Yet the smaller enrollment ensures faculty remain known figures in school culture. Many teachers instruct the same student across several years, deepening knowledge of her strengths and learning patterns. This continuity allows for tailored mentorship that single-year relationships cannot achieve.

An all-girls environment creates distinct pedagogical space. Without certain mixed-gender classroom dynamics, faculty can focus instruction and advising on how young women learn and lead. Maryvale offers instruction in French and Spanish alongside a traditional college-preparatory curriculum. Hiring spans languages, sciences, mathematics, humanities, arts, and administrative roles in admissions, advancement, and student services.

For educators committed to Catholic values and girls' education, the Baltimore suburbs location offers reasonable commutes from greater metropolitan areas. The school seeks faculty who value long-term student relationships and spiritual formation as integral to teaching, not peripheral to it. Compensation and benefits details are available through the school's employment pages.
