About Roland Park Country School

Roland Park Country School (RPCS) is an all-girls independent day school at 5204 Roland Avenue in Baltimore, on a 24-acre campus. It enrolls kindergarten through grade 12 for girls, and runs a co-ed preschool called Little Reds for infants through age 5. The whole school shares one building, so younger and older students cross paths daily, and RPCS reports 583 students on campus with roughly 30 percent students of color and 70 percent of faculty holding advanced degrees. The divisions are organized as Lower School (grades K to 4), Middle School, and Upper School, with five world languages, 15 sports, and 60-plus clubs offered across the divisions.

Academically, the Lower School uses Math in Focus, a Singapore Math curriculum built on a concrete to pictorial to abstract progression, and a literacy program anchored in the Phono-Graphix method, a structured, systematic, and multisensory approach to letter-sound relationships that builds decoding, spelling, and comprehension, paired with ongoing progress monitoring. That structured-literacy foundation fits the school's work with language-based learning differences, and RPCS staffs a Lower School Learning Support and Testing Coordinator. Older students can take an inquiry-based integrated math sequence and signature programs including the Holliday Heine STEM Institute and the Gore Leadership Institute. Visual and performing arts run throughout, with Lower School dance (pre-ballet, ballet, modern, jazz, hip-hop), an Orff and Kodaly music program, and the Upper School Roses Repertory Dance Company.

Tuition for the 2025-26 year runs from $32,500 for kindergarten up to $41,900 for grades 9 through 12, with grades 2 to 4 at $38,900 and grades 5 to 8 at $39,900. Little Reds ranges from $27,500 (preschool and PreK, 10-month school year) to $32,300 for the infant and toddler 10-month program, with 12-month options priced higher. Many costs such as books, art supplies, devices, and field trips are bundled into tuition by division.

The school offers need-based tuition assistance, determining need through its partner Clarity, and reports that about 35 percent of students receive financial aid. It also offers merit scholarships to incoming students in grades 5 to 12, including the Janet Bauer Hartman Upper School Merit Scholarship, the Board of Trustees Scholarship, and the Head of School Scholarship. Payment can be made in a single payment, two installments, or monthly through Blackbaud Tuition Management, and a Tuition Refund Plan is available through A.W.G. Dewar.

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.
