Why would Sports Illustrated take note of a private
school in East Tennessee? When the school is Baylor,
and the athletics program is the stuff of legend, the real
question is, “How could they not notice?”
Baylor teams have produced more than 100 state
championships in just the past 15 years. And when you
hear that Raider roar at every match, game, and regatta,
one thing is clear: This sports legacy is just getting started.
Our girls’ golf team made history with an unprecedented
14 consecutive TSSAA titles. Our crew teams regularly
make the Southeast rowing finals. The girls’ track and field
team took the state crown in 2008 and 2009. Five boys’
lacrosse players received all-state honors. Baylor swimmers
and divers regularly shatter state records, and recently won
the national title among independent schools in the U.S.
Who else is making sports headlines? Scholar-athletes
from every sport, including 30 students from the class of
’09 who are continuing their athletic careers at colleges
such as Alabama, Georgia, Harvard, Tennessee, and
Washington and Lee.
Our students take full advantage of athletic facilities that
rival those of most college campuses. The field house is
home to:
three basketball courts, plus a basketball arena
volleyball courts
wrestling facility
fully equipped training room
There’s more:
football and track stadium with artificial turf
three baseball fields
softball field
lacrosse field
three soccer fields
cross-country course
14 outdoor tennis courts (plus seven indoor courts)
Plus, Baylor golfers can practice their short game right on
campus. And Baylor’s aquatic center is undeniably one of
the best in the nation.
Baylor leads to
Victory.

Sports Illustrated named Baylor
School one of the
nation’s “top high
school athletic
programs” among
38,000 contenders.
Ways to Play: Baylor’s 80 teams
in 17 sports offer
every student a way
to play!
With a clear, innovative curriculum taught by some of the
nations’ leading educators. Beyond academics, we blaze
trails in everything from community service, to sustainability
to the arts. Our greatest strength? An extraordinary aware-
ness of each student’s individual promise.
Baylor offers Advanced Placement (AP) college-level courses in 22
subjects, including Human Geography, Spanish Literature, Calculus,
Environmental Science, and Studio Art.
Our adviser system pairs students with faculty advocates, fostering
strong relationships. The English as a Foreign Language (EFL) program,
which covers vocabulary, grammar, writing, and U.S. history and culture,
helps support our international students.
Baylor’s outdoor education program, Walkabout, was one of the first of
its kind in the country. Baylor students have countless opportunities for
learning off campus (sometimes way off, such as Asheville, Washington,
D.C., Italy, and India).
The Leadership Baylor program includes seminars, team-building class
retreats, and guest speakers, culminating with the Senior Capstone project.
Recent projects have included organizing a Special Olympics swim meet,
promoting campus recycling, and holding a book drive to raise funds for
schools in Uganda.

Being “on your own” for the first time means
great freedom, and even greater responsibility.
Baylor boarders are invested in their home – they are
involved in everything. And to keep it from becoming
overwhelming, we have a strong support system in
place that includes dorm parents, Families Assisting
Boarding Students (FABS), academic advisers, and the
student-staffed Peer Support Network.

Founded in 1893, Baylor is a coeducational day
and boarding, college preparatory school enrolling
students in grades 6-12 (boarding for grades 9-12).
Mission: To foster in our students both the ability and
the desire to make a positive difference in the world.
Students: More than 1,000 students from
21 states and 17 countries. There are approximately
700 students in the upper school (over 220 of whom
are boarding students), and 360 students in the
middle school.
Coeducation: Baylor students benefit from a
coeducational learning environment. At Baylor, as in the
world, both girls and boys occupy leadership positions
and participate fully in the life of the school.
Cultural Diversity: We actively seek students who
bring different geographic, economic, social, ethnic,
and racial backgrounds to our community. Fourteen
percent of upper school students identify themselves
as students of color; international students make up
seven percent of the upper school student body. All
Baylor students benefit from the global and cultural
perspectives that our boarding students bring.
Faculty: Baylor faculty members are more than
instructors: they’re advisers, mentors, and friends who
build strong relationships with students. More than 60
percent of our teaching faculty hold advanced degrees
(including plenty of PhDs).
Academics: One hundred percent of Baylor graduates
go on to colleges and universities nationwide, including
Duke, Georgetown, Harvard, Hopkins, M.I.T., and Yale.
Baylor offers Advanced Placement courses in 20
subjects.
Technology: The Weeks Science and Technology
building houses 100 computers, 14 laboratories,
state-of-the-art computer classrooms, and robotics
equipment. SMART Boards are used in many
campus classrooms.
Campus: Our 670 acres on the Tennessee River include
a state-of-the-art science and technology building,
eight dormitories, library, chapel, sports complex, fine
arts complex, dining hall, the area’s
only indoor 50-meter pool, and much more.
Athletics: Baylor fields 80 teams in 17 sports for
grades 6-12. Our athletes have won more than
100 state titles in the past 15 years. Sports Illustrated
ranked Baylor’s athletic program as one of the top 25
high school athletic programs in the country.
Arts: Our arts facilities are among the finest in the
nation. They include the Roddy Performing Arts Center
(media arts, dance, drama), the Ireland Arts Studio
(pottery, drawing, painting, computer graphics), and
the Music Building. There’s even a dance studio in
our field house.
Honor Code: The honor code is an understanding
among Baylor students that they do not want
among them one who will lie, cheat, steal, or falsify
information.
Scholarships and Financial Aid: A Baylor education
is a significant investment, but it doesn’t have to be
out of your family’s reach. Over $3 million in need-
based financial aid is awarded to approximately 25
percent of the student body. Tuition payment plans
and academic merit scholarships are also available
for qualifying students.
