Twice recognized as a School of Excellence by the U.S. Department of Education, Our Lady of Good Counsel High School challenges its 1160 young men and women in the Xaverian tradition to expand their intellect, enhance their faith, and enrich their community. As the only Catholic school in the region to offer the prestigious International Baccalaureate Program, Good Counsel compels high-achieving students to attain the highest standard of academic excellence through a global curriculum. In addition to the core college preparatory program, Good Counsel delivers a wide range of rigorous Honors and Advanced Placement courses. The St. Mary’s Scholars program selects high-achieving rising sophomores to participate in a three-year program linking academic learning to the world beyond the classroom. For highly motivated students with mild learning disabilities, the Ryken Program offers a structured, small-group learning environment.
Our Lady of Good Counsel High School is fully accredited by the Middle States Association and is chartered by the State of Maryland. Over 70 percent of Good Counsel’s faculty hold advanced degrees; Maryland State Certification is mandatory for all teachers. In addition to our nationally recognized athletic program, Good Counsel delivers a progressive, fully integrated visual arts, theatre and music program.
