Become a Global Scholar

Want to gain new perspectives that come from travel opportunities? Become a Global Scholar -- our distinction for students who pursue international travel and globally-focused courses while creating a Senior Global Capstone portfolio. We also offer exchange programs to Australia, South Africa, Spain, and France; whitewater kayaking in Panama, trekking in India, and community service in Jamaica.

Explore Creative Pursuits

At Baylor you can play in the orchestra and band, design costumes, perform in plays, dance in recitals, and sing in national choir competitions. We even have an AniMAKE studio where you can create films and an IdeaLab for hands-on thinking, making, and doing.

Impact Communities

Many Baylor students choose to serve children at locally and abroad through our nationally-acclaimed community service program. They tutor kids at local schools, write grants to help underserved children, and work to improve educational opportunities for children in Kingston, Jamaica.

Fuel Your Brain with STEAM

We are huge believers in STEAM, which fuels student projects from cancer research to virtual reality collaboration with MIT, and aquatic research with scientists at the Tennessee Aquarium Conservation Institute -- the Southeast’s only freshwater research center that is conveniently located on our campus.

Participate in Championship-level Athletics

Baylor student-athletes are offered 17 sports, we field 74 teams in grades 6-12, our facilities rival those of many colleges, and, at the varsity level, we've won nearly twice as many state championships than any other school in Tennessee.

"I knew I wasn’t going back to my old school and started looking at boarding schools. When I was visiting Baylor everyone was coming up to me and saying hello.People were just so nice to me -- and it was genuine."

“One of the things I love about Baylor this year is the renovation to the dining hall. It’s just unbelievable! They’ve made so much space to spread out and find what you want. We have many choices and the food is always very good.”

"When it came to choosing a high school it came down to what was best for me. My mom and I did the initial tour (of Baylor) and then my dad came up. We loved everything about it, especially all of the things you can get involved in. Colleges also recognize all that Baylor is known for.”
