The Baldwin School
The Baldwin School (simply referred to as Baldwin School or Baldwin) is a private school for girls in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, United States. It was founded in 1888 by Florence Baldwin. It is accredited by the Pennsylvania Association of Independent Schools (PAIS). The school occupies a former nineteenth-century resort hotel that was designed by Victorian architect Frank Furness, a landmark of the Philadelphia Main Line. The Baldwin School is not religiously associated.
In 1888, Florence Baldwin founded "Miss Baldwin's School for Girls, Preparatory for Bryn Mawr College" in her mother's house at the corner of Montgomery and Morris Avenues in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania.
The school's builiding, the second Bryn Mawr Hotel, was designed by Furness, Evans & Company and was built between 1890 and 1891. It is a five-story, L-shaped, stone-and-brick building that was created in a Renaissance Revival / châteauesque style, and features a large semi-circular section at the main entrance, topped by a conical roof and finial. It has a steeply pitched red roof with a variety of dormers, chimneys, towers, finials, and skylights.
Today the school has made many additions to "The Residence," but maintained the general style of the original building. It is now used for dining, art studios, theater performances, housing, the Middle School, and an Early Childhood Center.
A two-story science building opened in 1961; it was enlarged in 1995 to accommodate the increasing number of students. The Upper School inhabits the three-story Schoolhouse, which was built in 1926. It was renovated in 1997.
Renovations completed in 2014 to "The Residence" specifically support the Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten classes. In 2015, a performing arts center was built called The Simpson Center.
The school formally opened a new athletic center in 2008. It has a six-lane swimming pool, gymnasium, three-lane jogging track, four squash courts, a fitness center, five tennis courts, and a practice field.
Students of color represent 40% of the student body.
