North Baltimore City is known for its numerous private schools that compete to offer the finest education money can buy. Tuition prices soar from $7,000 to $18,000 each year. The reality for most families is that type of school is only a dream, but our commitment is to offer a high quality, extensive and holistic education experience at a price affordable to all.

Four years ago, another local family started to send their five boys to Baltimore Christian School. The grandmother and other family members are raising these children. Without our school's needs-based tuition and scholarship funds, their five young men would not be able to attend. The grandmother works very hard and supports the children with much love even though she battles her own physical ailments. Our small class sizes and ability to work closely with the families makes her job a little easier, and our convenient location helps with transportation challenges. We were recently reminded of the impact our school is having in these young boys' lives. In one of our leadership classes for boys, one of the young men had to list the men he looks up to in his life and he said it was the three males who work at our school and live in the community. The family has also connected with other youth group activities at church.One of our current families children previously attended an expensive private school, but the burden of the high tuition became too much, and they had to look for alternatives. What made their search more challenging was their children's unique situation. Although his family provided love and care for him since he was eight months old, they did not have the legal right to make the decision as to where their child would attend school until age 8. He had been attending a public school and unfortunately was not receiving the safe, structured and nurturing context necessary to development. After the parent talked to Mrs. Weiss she knew that BCS would provide the structure, nurture and commitment needed for her son. After being in the school for almost a year, the impact was obvious. He smiles more, his self-esteem has improved and he is progressing academically. As a result of the staff's sensitivity to the student's emotional, social, academic and spiritual needs he has become the happy and joyful child that his parents want him to be.
