Truman
created the Joseph Baldwin Academy in 1985 in order to
provide the benefits of a liberal arts education to students
beyond its own undergraduates. Since then the Academy has grown
in size from 4 classes with 60 students to 18
classes with 350 students. The Academy provides courses in all
areas of the liberal arts, including the humanities, fine arts,
natural sciences, and social sciences. All of the Academy's classes
are challenging, for they are designed to be the approximate
equivalent of a semester-long university course offered during the regular
academic year. The faculty members of the Academy's classes structure
their courses to suit the interests and abilities of the
talented students who make up our student body.
Students who are
currently enrolled in the 7th, 8th, or 9th grade may
be nominated by their school counselor or principal. If
you would like to attend the Academy, but have not
been nominated by your home school, please contact Jana Morton
at Truman.
