Academics & Leadership

Our small classes of 13 are just one of the things that make our academic program strong. At Baylor students quickly find peers who value academic achievement and are surrounded by a faculty committed to helping them reach their full academic potential. Our diverse curriculum includes AP and Honors courses, and a wide array of electives. Beginning in grade six and all the way through the senior year, students also have an adviser.

Leadership Plays a Key Role

At Baylor, we believe the roots of leadership extend beyond a year of service as team captain, a club leader, or a student officer. While these roles and opportunities are certainly significant, our Leadership Baylor Program is woven into the curriculum at each grade level, so students can discover their own unique leadership potential.

High Alumni Satisfaction

In a recent survey of Baylor alums over the last four decades, among both day and boarding students, the primary reason for attending Baylor was academic quality.

In the decade of the 1990s, alums felt that they received good to excellent preparation for college in every academic area at the school; on a 5-point scale, departments received ratings from 4.0 to 4.6.

In the decade of the 1990s, alums rated faculty, on the same 5-point scale, as well-versed in their subjects (4.7), developing close relationships with students (4.7), able to teach their subjects (4.6), and able to motivate students (4.5).
