Bay Academic Schedules

The academic year at Bay is divided into trimesters, each being 12 weeks in length. Full credit classes meet four days each week on a rotating block schedule. The daily schedule includes four major class blocks of 80 minutes in length—providing important in-class time for review, for introduction of new material, and for students to work closely with their teachers in groups and individually. Flex periods during the daily schedule enable students to work on assignments, visit the library, or relax and socialize with their peers. In addition, shorter periods are scheduled throughout the week for all-school assemblies, club activities and book groups, advisory group meetings, and special projects.

On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons from 3-3:30 pm, Bay School teachers are available in their offices during tutorial period to work one-on-one or in small groups with their students to provide academic support. During this time students are also free to visit the library, to meet with their advisors, or to schedule appointments with the director of Learning Services.
