The athletic complex at Roland Park Country School in Baltimore features a 14,000-square-foot roof whose plants absorb radiant energy so it doesn’t enter the building. The roof is
planted with special grasses and sedum that absorb water, filter pollutants and reduce storm water runoff.

schools both secular and religious that
are not part of the state’s public school
systems. The list is based on infor-
mation provided by the Web site of the
Maryland State Department of Edu-

themselves. In many cases we talked
to school representatives; in some
cases we relied on school Web sites.
Our list does not include independent
schools that offer only nursery school
or kindergarten classes. However,
those schools are listed by county on
the MSDE Web site, www.maryland-

at the department is (410) 767-0100.
Tuition figures are the latest available.
Many schools had not set fees for
2010-2011 when we gathered this in-
formation, and schools often charge
extra fees that they do not consider
part of tuition. We recommend that
readers contact schools directly to
check on tuition and to ask about ad-
ditional fees, enrollment policies and
waiting lists.
