Overview
At The Bay School, we balance challenging academics and innovative thinking with a mindful approach to learning and life.
Our goal is to see students unlock their individual and collective potential so they begin to realize their roles in a dynamic world.
Bay's exceptional academic program offers specialized and advanced courses in science, mathematics, and the humanities.
Our graduates attend a wide variety of colleges and universities in the U.S. and internationally, including highly selective institutions.
Drew knows and believes in teenagers. We engage each student in a process of intellectual discovery to develop an individual voice, the confidence to express it, and the empathy to understand its impact.
The Drew community is one that challenges the traditional definition of success and celebrates achievement one student at a time.
The result is that our students develop into fascinating individuals who are sought after by colleges and who know themselves well when they step out into the world.
As you engage in Drew's demanding academic program alongside 294 other students from across the Bay Area, you'll experience firsthand the Drew Dynamic: five core beliefs that shape day-to-day life at Drew and set the stage for your exploration of academics, the arts, athletics, languages, technology, social equity and inclusion-wherever your passions may lie.
