  • William Paca Elementary
  • Waverly Elementary Middle
  • Calvin M. Rodwell Elementary Middle
  • Dorothy I. Height Elementary
  • Elmer A. Henderson Elementary Middle
  • Wildwood Elementary Middle

  • Sandtown-Winchester Elementary Middle
  • Farring Bay-Brook Recreation Center
  • Lakeland Recreation and STEAM Center
  • John Ruhrah Elementary Middle
  • Beechfield Elementary Middle
  • Baltimore International Academy East 

Families can apply for the program on the city schools' website, or by calling the Student Learning Centers hotline at 443-984-2001.
