The Bay School of San Francisco is a private coeducational college preparatory school in San Francisco, California. The school opened in 2004.
History
The Bay School opened in the Presidio in 2004; at that time, a single class of 9th graders made up the student body. During the first school year, students attended classes in a temporary building, a "long, majestic white building on Schofield Road facing the bay". In August 2005, the school moved to 35 Keyes Avenue and has since added two nearby buildings in the Presidio.
Enrollment
The school's enrollment is 442 students as of 2024. The Bay School uses an inclusive tuition model, in which there are no additional fees after tuition (except bus transportation). The school distributes $4.7 million in flexible tuition grants each year.
Curriculum and features
In 2018, The Bay School implemented an experiential learning program, with a schedule of two-semester terms and two "immersive" terms per academic year. During Immersive terms, students take one class for three weeks.
Interdisciplinary and specialized courses include a study of water and politics in the American West, field geology, and biotechnology.
Athletics
The Bay School fields teams in 12 sports: Soccer, lacrosse, flag football, baseball, softball, basketball, volleyball, tennis, cross country, track and field, sailing, and golf.
