Faith Baptist School

The Salisbury School (TSS) is an independent, co-educational day school serving students from Pre-Kindergarten (age 3) through grade 12. Founded in 1970, it sits on a 43-acre campus on Hobbs Road in Salisbury, Maryland, on the rural Eastern Shore, with grounds bordered by trees, meadows, and streams. The program is organized into three divisions: a Lower School built around hands-on, active learning; a Middle School that balances traditional academics with independent thought and social responsibility; and an Upper School that prepares students for college through a curriculum centered on knowledge, discipline, and independence. Academics emphasize college readiness, with Advanced Placement courses offered and a college counseling program focused on finding the right "fit" for each graduate. Beyond the core curriculum, students take part in an arts program, hands-on STEM work tied to real-world challenges, and interscholastic athletics, with a range of clubs available schoolwide. Teachers work with individual learning styles, which can suit families looking at language-based learning differences and twice-exceptional learners. TSS is a mainstream college-prep school rather than a special-education program. Tuition for 2026-2027 runs from $8,500 for the half-day Pre-K 3 program and $11,180 for full-day Pre-K 4, to $14,500 for full-day Kindergarten, $17,000 for grades 1 to 5, $18,200 for grades 6 to 8, and $18,500 for grades 9 to 12. A yearly capital and technology fee of $650 per student applies. Tuition includes textbooks (AP texts cost extra), Chromebooks for grades 5 to 8, and art, science, athletic, PSAT, and graduation fees. Payment plans include a ten-month plan, a two-payment plan, and a single annual payment. The school runs a need-based Tailored Tuition Program through the third-party Clarity platform, with a March 1 submission target; about 28% of the TSS community currently participates. Optional before-school and after-school Stay and Play programs are offered, along with bus transportation to and from the Cambridge, Ocean City/Berlin, and Seaford/Laurel areas. Admissions are handled by Director of Admissions Gail Carozza, and families can request information, tour the campus, or apply online.
