The heart of Baldwin is its community. We believe in the dignity and worth of our students and recognize the importance of their responsibilities to their peers as well as the world beyond. The Community Project is a year-long inquiry that encourages 8th-grade students to explore their rights and responsibilities to implement service and action in their community and the wider world. Students will demonstrate skills in Investigating, Planning, Taking Action, and Reflecting.
Following is a list of the variety of important projects our students undertook this school year. We thank them and their advisors for their commitment to our community!
