Baylor's 24/7 Community...

No doubt, Baylor classrooms engage and excite. But when the academic day ends, another type of discovery takes place. At Baylor we believe that the benefits of extracurricular activities and competitive athletics are fundamental to a child's total education. That's why we require all students in grades 6-12 to participate in either a sport or an afternoon activity.

In addition, we provide a dizzying number of clubs and organizations. From the Swing Dance Club to the Science Club, there are certainly ample opportunities to try it all. Students also have the opportunity to join their classmates in a variety of extracurricular opportunities and fun outings around campus and the Chattanooga area. For our boarding students, this is especially important. Baylor's Student Activities Director and the Student Activities Team, as well as the Walkabout office, plan off-campus excursions every weekend. Each outing is chaperoned by at least one faculty member, which provides yet another chance for students to build relationships with adults outside the classroom.
