Located in the Presidio of San Francisco, The Bay School was founded in 2004 to provide something truly groundbreaking.
Rigorously Designed, Thoughtfully Delivered. The Bay School's challenging, innovative curriculum sets us apart from other high schools. Our students develop an adept intellect, integrity, self-knowledge, and an expansive approach to learning. They are more than just prepared for college: They are equipped to bravely approach the challenges of an unpredictable world.

A Community of Belonging
The Bay School is organized around the principles of mindfulness, equity, and community. These values sustain us and allow us to go further in both our intellectual and personal development. We foster collaboration, human-centered problem solving, and an aspiration to live in relationship with one another. Community is more like a verb for us, practiced in Morning Meetings and in the many ways students engage with their peers and staffulty.
Where Do Students Go After Bay?

Our Home in the Presidio
In keeping with the Bay precept of living with kindness and honesty and being careful truth tellers, we acknowledge that the Bay School campus sits on the land of the Village of Yelamu, which is the traditional, unceded territory of the Ramaytush-speaking people.
