The Bay School of San Francisco

To ignite a passion for learning and discovery in every one of our students, Bay’s curriculum offers more than 70 advanced-level electives across eight disciplines. Students take full advantage of these electives after completing core course requirements during the 9th and 10th grades. Bay teachers are skilled, passionate subject area experts who are deeply committed to the young people they teach. They connect with their students in small classes and as advisors, coaches, and extracurricular activity mentors. The semester schedule and 80-minute, project-based classes encourage students to delve deeply into complex, real-world issues.

In addition to advanced electives, outstanding mentorship, and time for focus, Bay offers students space and tools to apply their skills and knowledge. Adjacent to the main building, the Project Center provides a carpentry and machine shop, additional art studio space, and a headquarters for our Senior Signature Projects program. Bay’s highly-evolved tech program and sophisticated network platform give students unique opportunities to connect with others, conduct significant research, and develop content.
