About Cambridge School - Baltimore
Cambridge School is a private, classical, Christ-centered school in Baltimore, MD, serving students from kindergarten through 8th grade. The program is built around partnering with parents to educate children in both academics and character, drawing on a classical model that immerses students in literature, history, art, music, and science and ties each subject back to a Christian worldview. Kindergarten applicants for the 2026-2027 year must turn four by September 1, 2025, and first-grade applicants must turn five by the same date, so the school works with families of young elementary-age children through early adolescence.
Outdoor education and nature study are a long-standing part of the school's approach rather than an add-on. There is a full-time outdoor education coordinator, Ann Kumpf (MOT), and nature study runs across grade levels as a way to build observation skills and attention to detail. The "Specials" classes round out the core academics with Art, Music, Physical Education, Outdoor Education, and a chapel program. The school also staffs a Learning and Support Coordinator, Paulette Begley, who works with students who need additional academic support. Heather Strube serves as Head of School, with Heather Jordan as Assistant Head.
Tuition for the 2026-2027 year is $16,324 for kindergarten through 5th grade and $17,066 for middle school (grades 6 to 8), with extended-day pricing that varies. Tuition covers day field trips, textbooks, and some supplies, though middle school overnight trips cost extra. A non-refundable deposit of 10% is due with each signed contract, and the remaining balance can be paid in a single payment, two payments, or a ten-month plan through FACTS Tuition Management. Financial aid is available, and admission priority goes to siblings of current students. The school admits students without regard to race, color, religion, or national origin. Prospective families can take Tuesday tours by appointment during the summer, and the admissions process runs through inquiry, a campus visit, and a formal application.

Baltimore School for the Arts
Baltimore School for the Arts (BSA) is a public high school in downtown Baltimore for students who want to train seriously in the arts. Founded in 1979 as part of Baltimore City Public Schools, it sits in the historic Alcazar building on Cathedral Street in the Mount Vernon neighborhood and serves grades 9 through 12. Admission works differently than at most schools. Students audition and interview in their field of interest, whether that is visual art, film, music, stage design and production, theatre, or dance. Acceptance is based solely on that audition and interview, with no academic criteria, so talent and potential matter more than grades or test scores. Auditions are held each January for 8th and 9th graders, and of roughly 1,000 students who audition each year, about 115 are offered a spot. Once enrolled, students split the day between a full college-preparatory academic program and intensive training in their art form, taught by working professional artists. The school keeps a strong academic support system in place and partners with major Baltimore institutions including the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, Center Stage, the Hippodrome Foundation, and the Walters Art Museum. Its campus includes a recital hall, music practice rooms, art and dance studios, a film editing lab, and a black box theatre. As part of the public school system, BSA is tuition-free for Baltimore City residents. Students who live outside the city pay tuition, listed at $10,000 per year for the 2023 to 2024 school year. The school enrolls about 430 high school students. BSA also runs TWIGS, a free after-school and Saturday arts program for roughly 550 children in grades 2 through 8, which introduces younger students to the same training and feeds into the high school.
