Who we are
For over a century, Baker Demonstration School has been a nationally-recognized leader in exemplary progressive education, a community that is truly global in perspective, diverse in composition, and reflective of the world.
Founded in 1918, Baker was established to provide a high-quality, innovative education for children in preschool through 8th grade. For our first 87 years, Baker was the lab school for the teacher college at National Louis University, until we became independent in 2005.
We continue to carry out the vision of our first school director, Clara Belle Baker, ensuring academic excellence through our dynamic, experience-based curriculum that responds to the unique needs and strengths of each and every child.
