Inside Middle School at Baylor Baylor’s Middle School is designed especially for sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students. We’ve done our homework on how middle schoolers learn best and planned our classes to keep you interested, challenged, and never bored. The school day begins at 7:45 a.m. and ends at 2:50 p.m. In the afternoons, you’ll participate in athletics or other co-curricular activities. You can also take advantage of “Extra Help” sessions with teachers, or work on projects with classmates. Most core Middle School classes are held in Barks Hall, but you’ll venture to other areas of campus for arts classes, physical education, lunch, and chapel.
Speaking Baylor’s Language • The Middle School operates on a “modified block schedule,” which means some classes are longer than others. This gives teachers the ability to do more in certain areas – and it gives you time to really get into the subjects with discussions, projects, and even mini field trips. • For your “Project-Based Learning” class, you’ll work in groups to figure out many possible solutions to a problem you’re given. At the end of class, you’ll share all your favorite ideas with your classmates. • Everyone in the Middle School joins a “Spirit Team” that has sixth, seventh, and eighth graders. All year long, you earn spirit points by participating in fun events or attending classmates’ ballgames and performances. • In “Lit Strat” class (short for “Literacy Strategies”), you’ll read, read, read. You get to choose your books and you’ll track the number of pages you read toward your goals.
