History

Ashburton had been a farm owned by the Gittings family for more than 100 years. The Gittings family was prominent in Baltimore politics. The late John S. Gittings, a banker, diplomat and socialite, sold most of the property about 1919 for residential development by the George R. Morris firm, retaining only Ashburton House itself and surrounding acres. The house passed out of the family's hand and converted to a nursing home in the 3500 block of Hilton Road. Almost nothing of its once-vast acreage clings to it. The first home in the new development was built in 1921 by the family of Blanche Van de Castle.

Educational Resources

From pre-school to high school, Baltimore City’s schools serve students and families across more than 225 neighborhoods. Parents and students have numerous choices from public, private, parochial, and charter schools. Many elementary schools are zoned geographically, but are increasingly becoming schools of choice. All high schools are choice schools and all middle schools are becoming schools of choice in 2010-2011. This means students can apply to attend any school in the City regardless of their home address; some schools do have admission criteria. All charter schools and Transformation Schools have lotteries for admission.

Baltimore offers a wealth of opportunities when it comes to higher education at both the undergraduate, graduate and technical education levels. The seventeen colleges and universities within or near the City enroll more than 120,000 students. Through the Baltimore Collegetown Network, 16 area colleges cooperate and share resources, such as shuttle buses and libraries.
