The Bay School Non-Discrimination Policy

The Bay School of San Francisco welcomes students of any race, color, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity expression (SOGIE), ethnicity, national origin, or ancestry to all rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. The school does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, SOGIE, ethnicity, national origin, or ancestry in the administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, flexible tuition programs, athletic programs, and any other school-administered programs. We are committed to having a student body that reflects the diversity of the Bay Area. We strongly encourage those who value social justice, collaboration, innovation, and student-centered education to apply.

We balance challenging academics and innovative thinking…

We cultivate intellectual entrepreneurs. We design our curriculum to enable students to take ownership of their learning in an environment of high academic expectations. Students critically evaluate nuanced ideas from multiple perspectives and generate meaning for themselves. They craft creative solutions to real-world problems and come to understand their ability to effect meaningful change.

…with a mindful approach to learning and life.

We see the challenges of adolescence as critical catalysts for personal growth. We teach students habits of reflection and discernment that enable them to navigate those challenges and discover who they are. Our students learn to think carefully and act deliberately, while considering the experiences and perspectives of others. The practice of mindfulness permeates all aspects of school life, fostering a thoughtful and cohesive community.

Our goal is to see students unlock their individual and collective potential…

We challenge students to take risks. Our students learn to respond to setbacks gracefully, knowing that failure is often a step in the direction of success. They gain confidence in their own abilities and appreciate the value and richness of collective effort. Increasing levels of academic and personal autonomy enable students to discover their passions, pursue their interests, and test their limits.
