The Baylor School motto, Amat Victoria Curam, translates as “Victory Loves Care.” We chose this as the theme for this issue of Baylor magazine after witnessing time and again the diligence that was required by so many in opening campus this fall, while doing the important work of teaching, coaching, nurturing, guiding, and moving forward. We think you will agree that it’s more than a motto, it’s also an essential part of our school culture.
