Website The Bay School of San Francisco
As the only U.S. high school in a national park, The Bay School of San Francisco is genuinely uncommon. Bay’s students delve deeply into complex, real-world issues and creative endeavors. Faculty connect with their students in small classes and as advisors, coaches, and mentors for clubs and affinity groups. Bay’s facilities, schedule, and curriculum are all designed for multidisciplinary and experiential learning, with long class blocks, two Immersive terms per year, and capstone Senior Signature Projects that are hundreds of hours in the making. Throughout it all, Bay’s intent is to create a community in which diversity, equity, and belonging can truly be found by all.
Technology is an important through line at Bay. The small but mighty IT department supports students, faculty, and staff via data services, help desk support, and infrastructure deployment and management.
