We will be hosting open houses on November 16, 2022, from 4:30 pm – 6:00 pm and January 18, 2023 from 4:30 pm – 6:00 pm. For students applying to enter for high school, these will double as portfolio workshops, where they can meet with our pathway teachers and get support with compiling a quality portfolio. 

High School students who would like to attend a shadow day on December 7, 2022, from 9:00 am – 12:30 pm. can sign up at this link: https://forms.gle/kdoqMbeQWAehGiH57 

*Please note that shadow days are for students only and students will be dismissed with a pass at 12:30 pm. Students will be served lunch.  

High School applicants must compile a design portfolio, as outlined on the BDS website, and bring it in to be scored on February 1, 2023, at 1:30 pm. During this time, students will also be given a live challenge to complete that will be included in their overall portfolio score. Students who arrive late may not have an opportunity to have their portfolio scored.  

Portfolio requirements can be found at https://baltimoredesignschool.com/student-life/portfolio/ 

 *A digital design portfolio template is available, however, students are not required to use a digital format and are able to bring in each artifact to be scored on February 1, 2023.
