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.
