The Maryland School for the Blind was incorporated in 1853 as the Maryland Institution for the Instruction of the Blind, and adopted its present name in 1868. The School offers free educational services to blind or visually impaired students from birth to age 21. Students often have multiple disabilites which prevent them from receiving an appropriate education in their local public school. In addition to traditional classroom subjects, students are offered such services as Braille and low-vision instruction; orientation and mobility training; assistive technology; therapeutic recreation; career education; health and dental services; psychological evaluations; speech, physical, and occupational therapy; audiology; and infant and toddler services. For students over five years of age, residential services are available.

To govern the School, the Board of Directors was created in 1998 (Chapter 617, Acts of 1998). The Board consists of twenty-five members. Five are appointed jointly by the Governor and State Superintendent of Schools. Twenty are elected by the Board of Directors.
