I notice there are "0" reviews posted on yelp or other internet sources for this school that was founded in 1933 . ......there's probably a love-hate relationship (as with many schools.) I'll say from experience that the opportunities for students are many and varied. Now whether 50% of the students at the school take advantage of them is worth investigating for determining what the student culture is like...Boarding rules are in place but seem to be reactively enforced, mostly because they emphasize personal responsibility in preparation for college so be sure you feel resolved about your student attending the high school with their first boarding experience being the same as their transition to high school. They are exposed to the same (negative) challenges as any other high school outside of the classroom, but without parental-like guidance and supervision. That can be quite a bit challenging for some students. Otherwise all the staff are friendly, they interact as a family, and they genuinely work to prepare your student help themselves to meet their goals. ..Some students feel there's a level of resistance with developing friendships among local students and national/international students. But the students seem to find their way peaceably through those situations. read more

Obviously Terri J. knows nothing about Baylor. I go to Baylor and I can assure you that Baylor was not founded in 1933, you are forty years away. Baylor is awesome, I look forward to going there every day and we don't need ignorant people who don't know anything about the school to be commenting about Baylor. Everyone takes advantage of this amazing opportunity and the teachers do their best to make a student succeed in the classroom. read more

This is an amazing school and I'll admit that. However, when it comes to boarding life, the admissions department is extremely strict. I heard that 6 boarding students were expelled within half a year for harmless incidents. Although the academics seem very good and as well as the sports, I sense no humanity. Boarding school is becoming a less known concept so it's honestly foolish to dismiss students who chose to go there, against odds. These are children, they make mistakes, their minds are developing. This is a school but I now see it for what it really is, a business. Good luck to you. read more
