Upper School

Alongside a Christ-centered education committed to the pursuit of excellence, the upper school also values the development of student leaders, giving them the opportunity to take ownership of their high school experience. In this spirit, rising seniors can apply and interview for Prefect positions, while rising juniors and seniors have the opportunity to seek out positions as Fellows in the upper school. Selected by a panel of administrators, teachers, church staff and their peers, Prefects greatly impact and influence student life within the school community by assuming a posture of servant leadership as they coordinate various projects and initiatives, working alongside their student committees. In addition, the Fellows program gives upperclassmen the chance to develop their leadership skills while being mentored by executive-level staff members and other administrators in the SBS community.

Interim Term offers students creative experiences--on and off campus--that advance the goals of our academic and our co-curricular programming. These experiences further develop meaningful relationships between students and faculty and give students opportunities to develop new passions, interests and skills applicable to their personal and professional lives. Second Baptist School’s Interim Term enhances the academic experience through a myriad of opportunities, enabling students to apply their learning outside the classroom. This two-week program offers numerous elective courses that expand upon our regular curriculum and seek to fulfill our portrait of a graduate, including a variety of on-campus classes, service initiatives, professional internships and domestic and international travel.
