Small groups form in a bilingual english kindergarten class at John Rurah

City Schools has extended the Summer Transfer Window only through Wednesday, August 13, 2025. This is your LAST opportunity to visit the enrollment office in person as part of the open transfer window. Please note that, since the original transfer window has closed, placement and scheduling for transfer students may not be finalized by the first day of school.

New enrollments will continue to be available and processed for students entering City Schools.

Last Opportunity for In-Person Support for transfers this school year:

  • District Headquarters, 200 E. North Ave., Baltimore, MD 21202

  • Monday, August 11: 9 a.m. – 4 p.m.

  • Tuesday, August 12: 9 a.m. – 4 p.m.

  • Wednesday, August 13: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

Please note: Mornings tend to be our busiest time. To avoid long wait times, consider visiting later in the day.
