About the McKim's School
McKim's School, located at 1120 East Baltimore Street in Baltimore, Maryland, is a historic institution that has been serving the community since 1821. As the oldest continuously active community center in the United States, McKim's School has a rich history of providing education, athletics, and neighborhood safety to generations of youth and families.
The institution was a site of the Underground Railroad, where enslaved Africans sought refuge and freedom. Harriet Tubman, a key figure in the Underground Railroad, is believed to have passed through the center. Today, McKim's School continues to uphold its pillars of structure, discipline, love, and respect in its community services.
The "Temple Building" at McKim's School, completed in 1833 through a generous gift from John McKim, a Quaker businessman, is a historic landmark in Baltimore City. The Greek Revival style of the building is modeled after the Temple of Hephaestus in Athens, Greece. The McKim Meeting House, built in 1781, is the oldest religious building in Baltimore City and has been used by the McKim Center for educational services for local low-income youth and families.
Led by Executive Director Coach Garfield Thompson, McKim's School continues to provide holistic community education and healing. Through its out-of-school time program, the institution teaches neighborhood safety, peace, and wellness through physical education, science, the arts, and civic studies.
