History

Gilman was founded as the Country School for Boys by

resident Anne Galbraith Carey, with assistance from

(1831–1908), the first president of

(1876–1908). The school opened its doors on September 30, 1897, in the old "Homewood" Mansion off North Charles Street. (The mansion, now known as the Homewood Museum, was constructed in 1800 in Georgian-

.) By 1910, Johns Hopkins began moving its campus north from its former downtown location along North Howard Street in the neighborhood of Mount Vernon-Belvedere to the newly named Homewood campus. In that year, the Country School moved to its current campus further north in the city, in north Roland Park along Roland Avenue, just south of Belvedere Avenue (and the future Northern Parkway). Here was begun one of the first planned suburban developments in America by the new Roland Park Company in 1891. At that time the institution changed its name to "The Gilman Country School for Boys", in honor of the seminal figure in its founding, Dr. Gilman. In 1951, "Country" was dropped from the name. Gilman has two sister schools:

Academics

The school has three divisions: Lower School (pre-kindergarten through grade five), Middle School (grades six through eight) and Upper School (grades nine through twelve). At the Upper School level, students are required to take courses in history, mathematics, English, science, and a foreign language each semester; an intramural or interscholastic sport each season; and a minimum of art and music instruction over four years. Students must also fulfill a community service requirement and may choose to participate in a range of extracurricular activities.

Gilman is perhaps best known for its success in swimming, lacrosse and tennis. The football team has won 13 Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) "A" Conference championships in the last 20 seasons.
