Baylor School

Baylor welcomes students from 12 countries, 23 states, and dozens of area neighborhoods. But here, we don’t see local students or international students, day students or boarding students. Living and learning together, we simply see Baylor students. Baylor's mission is to foster in its students both the ability and the desire to make a positive difference in the world.

Our commitment to coeducation is important in all aspects of the school and is directly linked to our commitment to leadership and diversity. Learning with people from different cultures and backgrounds broadens our students' views and prepares them for the real world. By offering boys and girls equal opportunities, we help them develop their full potential and a respect for different perspectives.

Baylor's mission is to foster in its students both the ability and the desire to make a positive difference in the world. Baylor fulfills its mission by providing:

• A rich academic program that opens the minds of students, preparing them for college and for an ever-changing world;
• A school rooted in tradition yet receptive to change, staffed by talented adults who are devoted to teaching and who model for students a lifelong love of learning;
• A wide variety of co-curricular experiences that require active participation and personal commitment, extending learning beyond the lessons of the traditional classroom;
• A diverse academy having at its heart a vibrant resident community of faculty and students from around the world;
• A balance of emphases on activities of the mind, body, and spirit, encouraging students to grow into happy, caring, and honorable adults, ready and unafraid to be leaders for the public good.

When students arrive on campus each day, they’re welcomed by some of the leading minds in independent education. Our instructors have earned Fulbright Scholarships and the Presidential Award for Excellence.

They grade Advanced Placement exams and help write the National Spanish Exam. And more than 70 percent hold advanced degrees from such institutions as Boston University, Cornell, Duke, Emory, Harvard, and Vanderbilt.
