Learning Looks Different at Baker

Learning at Baker looks distinctly different from the traditional model of teachers delivering content and students reciting it back. Students here are immersed in projects that challenge them with goals as they take the lead in developing, which require creative thinking and original ideas to reach. 

At Baker, your child’s teachers will nurture their innate curiosity for learning and challenge them to adapt creatively to solve real problems, encouraging them to advocate for their own needs and others. This leads to not only academic growth, but deep social and emotional growth as well.

Uniquely Prepared Students

Our teachers hold advanced degrees uniquely preparing them to modify both curriculums and their approach to learning based upon your child’s unique interests and needs. Small class sizes, individualized instruction and project-based learning help ensure every student gets the guidance they need to succeed.
