Purpose
The Joseph Baldwin Academy was created to provide a simulated college experience for highly talented students. The courses are intended to be at or near college-level. Beyond the classroom, JBA gives students an opportunity to socialize with people of their own age and intellect from different cities and, in some cases, states. The goal of the academy is to give the students an “increased appreciation for the pleasures of education, intellectual engagement, and the college experience.”
