Upper School Transfers (Grades 10-12)
At Second Baptist School, we’re more than a college prep school—we’re a Christ-centered community where students are challenged to grow and equipped to lead.
Each year, we open a limited number of spots in grades 10–12 for exceptional students who will enrich our Upper School both academically and personally. If you’re a motivated student with a strong transcript and a drive to contribute in the classroom, on the field, or through the arts, we invite you to explore what it means to be an Eagle.

“Transferring to Second Baptist was a blessing. After my previous school, I was ready for a change. From the moment I stepped on campus, I was embraced by a welcoming community that made the transition seamless. The students, teachers and staff created an environment where I felt supported and valued, which was crucial in helping me adapt to a new school culture.”Ethan Dishman, Class of 2025
