The Bay School of San Francisco is a private coeducational college preparatory school in San Francisco, California. The school opened in 2004.

History

In 1992, Malcolm Manson, a former headmaster of Marin Country Day School and the Cathedral School for Boys, conceived of the idea of a new high school. In 1996, the school became incorporated.[4]

The school opened in 2004; at that time, a single class of freshmen 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".[4] In August 2005, the school moved to 35 Keyes Avenue.

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.

Bay is a member of the Mastery Transcript Consortium, an organization of schools that grade students based on competency rather than giving letter grades.

Interdisciplinary and specialized courses include a study of water and politics in the American West, the history and art of hip-hop, and the mathematics of digital animation.

Athletics

The Bay School fields teams in 11 sports: cross-country, track and field, basketball, baseball, golf, lacrosse, sailing, soccer, softball, tennis, and volleyball.
