Our School


Welcome to The Maryland School for the Blind

Since 1853, The Maryland School for the Blind (MSB) has been a leader in education for students who are blind or have low vision. Nestled on a 95-acre campus in Baltimore, our school provides a supportive and inclusive environment where students can learn, grow, and thrive.

At MSB, we offer personalized education and specialized services tailored to each student’s Individualized Education Program (IEP). Our comprehensive support includes Occupational Therapy, Orientation and Mobility training, Physical Therapy, Speech and Language Therapy, Assistive Technology, Transition Services, and more.

Students in our career education program gain hands-on experience by running The Russo Café, along with student-led businesses like The Clothes Boutique and the official MSB School Store. These opportunities help them build valuable job skills in food service, retail, and money management.

Technology plays a key role in our classrooms. We provide a wide range of assistive tools, including braille note takers, screen readers, magnifiers, and even 3D-printed materials customized for student needs.

Beyond academics, MSB is committed to sports and recreation. Our fully accessible playground, running track, and athletic fields allow students to participate in adaptive physical activities, including blind sports that promote confidence, teamwork, and well-being.

At MSB, we believe in empowering every student to achieve their fullest potential in school, work, and life.
