Words of wisdom from Baylor Middle School students. “When you visit Baylor, be sure to walk all over campus – you’ll want to see everything. That means a lot of hills, so get ready for a hike!” “Don’t be afraid to speak up. When Gandhi’s grandson came to campus, I got to ask him a question. How many people have the chance to do that?” “No goofing off! In ethics class, we sit at at a big oval table where you can see everybody. It makes us pay attention, and we have some really great discussions.” “We can ask our teachers for help with anything. I used to be nervous about talking to teachers, but not since I came to Baylor.”

Awesome Advisers Every Baylor student has a faculty adviser – someone you can talk to about classes, homework, sports, clubs, friends, whatever. Middle School advisers keep things interesting all year long with trips to the Food Bank, bowling, kickball, and even whitewater rafting down the Ocoee River.
