Apply

At Baker, the application process marks the beginning of a thoughtful partnership — one that allows you to explore our progressive, child-centered community while we take the time to learn about your child, your family, and what you hope for in their educational journey.

Every family is supported through a personalized admissions process that centers your priorities and your child’s social, emotional, and intellectual growth.

Still considering a move for this school year? We have limited openings for the 2026–2027 school year in select grades. 

Step 1: Submit Your Application

Applications for the 2027–2028 school year are now open! We welcome families to begin the admissions process and discover what makes Baker such a special school community.

Once your application is submitted, a member of our Admissions team will be in touch to guide you through next steps and answer any questions along the way.

Step 2: Tuition assistance

Access to a Baker education is central to our mission, and we recognize that cost is an important consideration for families. As you begin the application process, you’ll find steps to apply for tuition assistance, allowing us to work together to make a Baker education possible for your child.

Step 3: student visit

After your application is received, our team will contact you to schedule a Student Visit.

This visit gives your child the opportunity to spend time in our classrooms, meet teachers and students, and experience the Baker community firsthand.

Classrooms are dynamic, ever-changing environments.

Child-centered education means moving at the speed of their imagination. Connect with us to learn how our teachers thoughtfully adapt learning experiences to build on students' interests, questions, and developmental needs.

Learning happens everywhere.

Connect with us to learn how students engage in experiential learning throughout our campus and beyond—whether in our 24,000-volume library, media center, technology lab, outdoors in nature, or out in the community.

Students explore and thrive.

With teachers at their side to guide and encourage them, Baker students develop a love of learning through inquiry and project-based experiences that invite them to find creative solutions to real-world problems.
