| The Tome School is an independent, coeducational, college preparatory school founded in 1889 by Port Deposit philanthropist Jacob Tome. The school's curriculum provides a broad liberal arts education for students from kindergarten through twelfth grade in an environment emphasizing academic success, high standards of personal behavior, and full participation in school life. For a student to be successful at Tome, parents must hold similar expectations and
standards.
Tuition is significantly lower at Tome than at other independent schools, partly because of the substantial funding from The Jacob Tome Institute and partly because of parental assistance. Efforts by Tome families have held tuition increases to a minimum. |
