Loyola Blakefield, college preparatory school
Loyola Blakefield is a private school for boys in grades six through twelve located in Towson, Maryland, operated by the Jesuits. The campus features open green spaces, traditional brick buildings, and modern facilities including an athletic center and fields for baseball, soccer, football, and other sports.
Founded in 1852 by Rev. John Early and other Jesuits, the school was established after a nearby Catholic institution closed. In 1988, it officially became Loyola Blakefield when a middle school program was added to the existing high school.
The school's name reflects its Jesuit foundation, which continues to shape daily life through religious symbols and observances visible throughout the campus. Students engage with this heritage through spiritual activities and traditions that emphasize service and reflection.
The school sits in a quiet suburban area with ample parking and is easily accessible by car. Visitors should contact the school in advance to arrange campus tours or to learn about visiting specific facilities.
The school competes with Calvert Hall in the legendary Turkey Bowl football game played every Thanksgiving at Towson University, a tradition broadcast on television that draws spectators from across the region. This matchup has defined the school's athletic identity for generations.
