In September of 1998, Cambridge School opened its doors to 29 students. At that time, our staff of four teachers and one administrator taught out of the basement of Pleasant Hill Chapel in Hunt Valley, Maryland.
The opening of Cambridge School was the result of two years of research and planning by Scott Buresh, founder and first board chair. Scott’s dream was to open a school that balanced reason with imagination, a school that believed in academic excellence while building a foundation of faith in a nurturing and loving environment. Scott envisioned a school that acknowledged and sought God’s truth through active, hands-on learning.
After five years at Pleasant Hill, Cambridge moved to St. Charles Parish in Baltimore. The new site offered more room and space to accommodate the growth of Cambridge. Before the move, Cambridge’s community included nearly 120 students and almost 20 faculty, staff, and administrators. In recent years, Cambridge has received a provisional membership with the Association of Independent Maryland Schools and has partnered with the Association of Christian Schools International.
In 2007-2008, Cambridge School celebrated its 10th year. With almost 160 students, over 20 faculty and staff members, and four administrators, Cambridge has continued to grow in amazing ways. It is clear that God has provided and led the school in its journey. Through our history, God’s presence has been evident as He has continued to shape and mold the school. In addition, we have also been blessed by many who have given so much of their time, heart, energy, and resources to make Scott’s dream and vision a reality.
