Vision
Rev. William J. “Bill” Watters, S.J., opened Loyola Early Learning Center in 2017 to address the lack of quality early learning opportunities for low-income children in Baltimore City.
On June 29, 2021, The Loyola Early Learning Center (LELC) changed its name to The Loyola School to reflect its expanded mission, now including a new elementary school that will expand through grade 4 by 2025.
The overarching goal of TLS is to remedy socioeconomic disparity in kindergarten and middle school readiness among underserved children living in Baltimore City.
We provide our students with a high-quality preschool and elementary curriculum, characterized by individualized student support and parent involvement.
Fr. Watters has followed a long-standing Jesuit tradition in responding to the critical need for quality education for children of low-income families.
Research shows the highest rate of return in education comes from investing in children as early as possible. Children from disadvantaged environments, however, are least likely to get the support they need. Our objective is to disrupt this pattern and focus on creating a core group of highly educated citizens who will be Baltimore’s leaders of tomorrow.
