What Cambridge School does

Cambridge School is a private K-8 classical, Christ-centered school located in the Towson area of Baltimore County, Maryland, founded in 1998 with 29 initial students. The school operates from its campus at 6200 N. Charles St., which features the Hundred Acre Wood outdoor education space certified by the National Wildlife Federation as a Schoolyard Habitat. Cambridge School delivers an integral, unit-based curriculum organized around historical time periods (natural history, ancient civilizations, Middle Ages, Renaissance and Reformation, U.S. and world history), grounded in Charlotte Mason educational philosophy and a Christ-centered worldview. The school partners with parents to educate hearts and minds of children in virtue and truth, offering core academic programs (Kindergarten, Grades 1-5, Grades 6-8) alongside specials classes in art, music, outdoor education, and physical education/athletics.

The school's go-to-market is sales-led, recruiting prospective families through open houses, school tours, and community events in the Baltimore/Towson area, with an active digital presence including a blog, Instagram, and Facebook. The business model is recurring annual tuition (subscription-based) supplemented by philanthropic donations to the Cambridge Foundation Fund, which supports over 10% of day-to-day operations. Tuition pricing is not publicly disclosed. The school cultivates a community ecosystem featuring an active parent volunteer program (ARK Team) and an annual 8th grade service-learning trip to Cuirim House in Nogales, Mexico, established as a mission partner founded in 2003.

Cambridge School is independently owned and operated under Cambridge School Inc., a Maryland-incorporated entity governed by a Board of Trustees. Leadership includes Head of School Heather Strube, Assistant Head of School Heather Jordan, Director of Business Operations Wendy Miller, and Director of Development Kathleen Nuetzel. The school employs faculty across K-8 grade levels, teaching assistants, a full-time Outdoor Education Coordinator, and operational support staff. There is no venture capital, private equity, or institutional investment ownership evidenced in available materials.
