Baylor School stands among the finest prep schools in the country, and although students enroll for different reasons, there are several compelling considerations common to most decisions.
Academics is one constant in Baylor’s 128-year history because we provide a college preparatory program that engages, challenges and inspires students to achieve their greatest academic potential at both Baylor and beyond. For example, the 186 members of the Class of 2021 received more than 250 acceptances to different colleges and universities around the globe, including Oxford, Penn, Harvard, Yale, Wake Forest, the University of Virginia, Cornell, Northwestern, the University of Southern California and Georgia Tech. In addition, nearly 40 members of the class will continue their athletic careers in college, including 18 who will be playing in the NCAA Division 1.
While Baylor is first and foremost an academic institution, we believe that preparing students for college requires attention to the body and the spirit as well as the mind. That commitment is reflected in every aspect of Baylor life outside the classroom.
Our students find that balance on what is arguably the most beautiful independent school campus in the Southeast, with 690-acres along the Tennessee River and an abundance of opportunities that many schools are not able to provide. Our campus is home to boarding students from 15 countries and 23 states who enjoy a deep sense of community while discovering an independence most students are not able to experience until college.
