Baldwin Arts and Academics Magnet School's mission is to foster academic success, nurture artistic talent, and encourage social development by providing middle school students with a challenging curriculum, producing motivated, conscientious, and well-rounded citizens.
Baldwin Magnet houses two separate magnet schools--Baldwin Arts and Baldwin Academics. Baldwin Academics is designed to provide opportunities for middle school students to pursue challenging academic work in the areas of computer technology, research experiences, foreign languages, and intensified classroom and community engagements. Baldwin Arts offers a middle school experience infused with the arts. Practicing artists provide instruction in the areas of band, strings, choral music, classical guitar, creative writing, dance, drama, piano, and visual arts.
