Maryvale Preparatory School

Malika DeLancey, Maryvale Preparatory School’s new president, is a passionate and joyful educator. She joins Maryvale after 25 years of experience in teaching and academic leadership at many of the most prestigious independent schools in the Baltimore area. She earned her B.A. in psychology from the University of Maryland College Park and an M.S. in education from Johns Hopkins University.

DeLancey believes in the Maryvale mission, providing an exceptional education that responds to change and prepares young women for life. Maryvale has been nurturing the next generation of women who move Maryland since it was founded in 1945 by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. Today, the Catholic independent girls’ school serves grades six through 12, in an environment in which each student can reach her greatest potential in a supportive and diverse community.
