Baylor School, commonly called Baylor, is a private, coeducational college-preparatory school in Chattanooga, Tennessee, United States. Founded in 1893, the school's current campus comprises 690 acres and enrolls students in grades 6 to 12, including boarding students in grades 9 through 12. These students are served by Baylor's 148-member faculty, over two-thirds of whom hold advanced degrees, including nearly 40 adults who live on campus and serve as dorm parents. Baylor has had a student win the Siemens Award for Advanced Placement in math and science and a teacher received the National Siemens Award for Exemplary Teaching.
As of 2005, Baylor had the best high school sports program in Tennessee and was in the top 25 nationwide according to Sports Illustrated.[4] In the past 21 years, Baylor has won 157 state championships, including a national record of 16 consecutive victories in women's golf from 1995-2012. The school has also repeatedly been named national champion in both men's and women's swimming, by Swimming World magazine.[5] For the 2011-12 school year, Baylor enrolled 1070 young men and women, 20% of whom lived on campus, as representatives of 25 states and 30 countries.[6]
