Loyola School recognized for excellence by university

The Loyola School, a Jesuit all-scholarship preschool and elementary school in Baltimore, will receive Loyola University Maryland’s 2022 Milch Community Partnership Award in recognition of its service to city families.

The university presents the Milch Award annually to a community group, organization or agency that has “contributed significantly to the betterment of the intellectual, cultural, social or commercial life of greater Baltimore.”

The award will be presented at Loyola University’s commencement exercises May 14. Previous recipients of the Milch Award include Baltimore Center Stage, Special Olympics Maryland, Strong City Baltimore and Mercy Medical Center.

“This award is a testament to your intentional commitment to early childhood education, holistic development and support of children and their families, and your profound impact on our city,” Loyola University Maryland President Terrence M. Sawyer said in a letter to Jesuit Father William J. Watters, president of The Loyola School.

The award was created in 1979 by Robert A. Milch, professor of management and dean of Loyola’s executive graduate program in management from 1977 to 1981 and by his mother, Pearl S. Milch.

 “We are honored to be among the great organizations in Baltimore to be recognized through the Milch Award,” Father Watters said in a news release. “We are very grateful to our generous benefactors for making our mission to provide quality education for Baltimore City children and their families a reality and thankful to Loyola University Maryland for recognizing the impact of our mission on our students and the future of Baltimore City.” 

The Loyola School, which encompasses the five‐year‐old Loyola Early Learning Center and a new elementary school, offers year‐round preschool and elementary-education programs to a diverse group from families that need assistance. The early learning center opened in 2017 and the school’s kindergarten is in its first year. One new grade level will be added each year until, by 2025, The Loyola School will enroll about 200 students in pre‐K through fourth grade. 

The school seeks to remedy socioeconomic disparity with academic success among Baltimore City children through a curriculum rooted in the Catholic Jesuit tradition. It is an initiative of St. Ignatius Catholic Community and a member of the 30 secondary and pre‐secondary schools sponsored by the USA East Province of the Society of Jesus, the Jesuit order of Catholic priests and brothers. 

Donors sponsor a child’s three years in preschool and/or five years in elementary school. The Loyola School’s plan to renovate and expand space for its elementary grades received final approval on Feb. 8 by the Baltimore City Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation. Construction will be complete in late 2023. The renovated facility at 104‐112 E. Madison St., across from St. Ignatius Church, will incorporate the facades and fronts of the existing townhouses with new construction to their rear and a main entrance on Calvert Street.
