A Message from Middle School Director Lois Pressman
Happy New Year and welcome back! The Schoolhouse was buzzing with excitement on Monday morning as the girls greeted one another after the long vacation. I could not help but reflect on the fact that as we reach the midpoint of the year, we have certainly achieved that much sought after feeling of community that supports and encourages every member of the Middle School.

A Message from Head of School Sally Powell
There is great excitement at Baldwin as students are busy getting back to the business of learning. Stories of family, food, travel and friends are peppered with discussion of classes, assignments and schedules. It’s as if we have never been apart! However, 2009 has dawned with uncertainty and challenge for all of us. It is with great comfort that we look to our Baldwin community that has for more than one hundred and 20 years been here to serve and support us. Challenges are best met head on, and we are all facing these turbulent financial times with the common goal of ensuring the very best educational opportunities for all our girls. The Board of Trustees will meet shortly to determine the tuition rates for 2009-2010 and also the compensation rates for our dedicated faculty and staff.
