Baltimore Polytechnic Institute - Ingenuity Project

Our School Programs Ingenuity offers three city-wide middle school programs at Hamilton, Mount Royal and Roland Park and host a single high school program at Baltimore Polytechnic Institute. Ingenuity’s math and science curriculum is not a supplement to existing math and science instruction, but a separate, comprehensive math and science curriculum. Ingenuity hires highly qualified math teachers to partner with the Baltimore City math teacher so students are learning in small classes of 15:1. Middle School Ingenuity’s middle school program begins with high expectations for student achievement. Ingenuity teachers provide challenging and dynamic coursework with an emphasis on inquiry, investigation, strong work habits, and deep mastery of concepts. Teachers provide summer programs in mathematics to ensure retention of concepts, and support students with after school programs, such as The Learning Club (TLC), and coaching to prepare for regional and national math competitions and science fairs. The merits of Ingenuity’s middle school curriculum is recognized in program evaluations and studies showing that students who enroll in Ingenuity in middle school typically earn higher GPAs, have higher PSAT/SAT scores, and take more Advanced Placement courses in high school when compared to students who did not participate in Ingenuity middle school.
