The Immersive Experience

What can happen in just three weeks?

In taking one course, students have time to engage deeply with the subject matter, sit with questions, and apply their learning daily so concepts and skills are layered and reinforced. Consistent feedback between students and teachers allows for the continual refinement of ideas.

Immersives are designed by our faculty to take advantage of the format. Science courses are driven by labs and fieldwork, social studies classes spend time learning within communities, literature and writing classes have time for deep analysis and a rigorous writing process. Browse the courses listed below to see the variety offered in this program, and download the 2025-2026 course catalog for details.

On the last day we hold Exhibition, where all students present to the Bay community on topics that they have researched in depth. Podcasts, video journals, short films, detailed infographics, lab reports: the final projects display incredible variety. By their senior year, Bay students are adept at research, synthesis, and public presentation of complicated ideas. Learn about some of the experiences below.
