History

Old Baylor School

Baylor School was founded in 1893 by John Roy Baylor. The school was originally named "Baylor University School" and did not change its name to "Baylor School" until 1925. Baylor began in a building in downtown Chattanooga, but then, in 1915, Baylor moved to its current location on the banks of the Tennessee River. Baylor became a military school in 1917 and remained so until 1971. Baylor was a boys school (with the exception of 1900-1911) until in 1985 it admitted 41 girls. (Because one of the girls dropped out, this group is commonly referred to as the Fab 40.) Today, Baylor attracts students from all over the world in grades (6-12), including boarding students in grades (9-12). Image File history File links Baylor_old. ...
