High School Partners

The James Baldwin School
The James Baldwin School is a small, community-minded, college preparatory public school. Its mission is to provide a philosophical and practical education for all students, an education that features creativity and inquiry, encourages habitual reading and productivity, as well as self-reflection and meaningful thought. The high school acts as a transfer school for students, and their families, who have previously found high school unresponsive to their needs and ambitions.
