City Neighbors High

City Neighbors High School (CNHS), located in the Hamilton-Lauraville neighborhood of Baltimore, is a public charter school that emphasizes a project-based, student-centered approach to learning. Built upon the principles of the "City Neighbors" model—which focuses on the whole child, democratic governance, and social justice—the school seeks to provide a personalized educational experience. The curriculum is designed to move beyond traditional testing, instead encouraging students to engage in deep inquiry, real-world problem solving, and interdisciplinary projects that connect classroom work to the broader Baltimore community.

The school is defined by a strong focus on community, collaboration, and student voice. Students at CNHS are often active participants in shaping their learning environment, and the school maintains a culture that values relationships, inclusivity, and the development of the "whole human." By prioritizing arts, humanities, and community-based internships alongside core academics, City Neighbors High School aims to graduate empowered, creative, and socially conscious citizens who are well-prepared for life after graduation, whether in college or career.
