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]
