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".[5] In August 2005, the school moved to 35 Keyes Avenue and has since added two nearby buildings in the Presidio.[citation needed]

Enrollment

The school's enrollment is 442 students as of 2024.[6] The Bay School uses an inclusive tuition model, in which there are no additional fees after tuition (except bus transportation).[7][8] 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.[9]

Interdisciplinary and specialized courses include a study of water and politics in the American West, field geology, and biotechnology.[10]

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.[11]
