The Children's Guild is a child-serving organization composed of special needs schools in Baltimore City and Prince George's County serving children and adolescents who are difficult to educate due to autism, multiple disabilities and trauma from difficult experiences. In addition, The Children's Guild operates Monarch Academy public charter schools in Baltimore City and Glen Burnie providing rigorous academics, adventure-based learning and an enriched curriculum. The Children's Guild also operates three group homes, a treatment foster care program and an outpatient mental health program. (www.childrensguild.org)
