A Private Boarding & Day School
Our One-School Community
Baylor's school community is comprised of both day students from the Chattanooga area and boarding students from around the world.
Why Boarding?
More, more, more.
The majority of our boarding students tell us they chose Baylor because they were seeking more challenges, more independence, and more opportunities. With the Baylor family behind you just about anything is possible.
Greater independence in college.
Our boarding alumni consistently report that their boarding experience helped with the transition to higher education, making them more independent, organized, self-confident, and better prepared to make decisions on their own. They also began their college years with better study habits than many of the non-boarding peers they met in college.
A safe & supportive 24/7 learning community.
Our dormitories (three for boys and three for girls) are staffed by teachers who serve as dorm parents. As with all Baylor students, boarders are assigned an academic adviser, who meets with them several times throughout the week to establish personal goals, monitor progress, and discuss opportunities or challenges.
Off-Campus Activities
Baylor makes sure that boarding students have access to all Chattanooga has to offer. Every weekend, groups of students board buses to head downtown, to the mall, or to trendy neighborhood shops. Walkabout offers group hikes and bouldering almost every weekend. Overnight trips to Atlanta and Nashville led by dedicated student activities staff and faculty volunteers are also popular options.
