Benefits of the School Partnership Program
Baldwin Wallace is dedicated to partnering with school districts to ensure their educators are provided high-quality educational opportunities to enhance their skills and competencies, with an individualized, student-focused experience to support their learning. If you are interested in learning more about how your district can participate in our school partnerships program, please contact Liana Wiemels at lwiemels@bw.edu.
We currently offer a multi-tiered approach to school partnerships.
Premier Partnerships
Schools that wish to engage with Baldwin Wallace at the premier level collaborate with us so that we can best understand the educational needs of their educators and communicate the appropriate programming opportunities that the University has to offer. In return, educators in these districts receive a 10% discount on BW standard tuition rates for eligible graduate education programs.
