Academic Program Overview

Our curriculum for the freshman and sophomore years seeks to build a broad foundation of basic skills, structured in an integrated approach that emphasizes the interrelationships between traditional academic disciplines. As students advance to their junior and senior years, the program is increasingly driven by their individual interests and talents, with many more opportunities for electives in disciplines of their own choosing.

Engaged and mentored by dedicated teachers, students are encouraged in their mastery of the important skills of critical thinking, interpretation, and communication in many mediums. Specific course offerings each year at the Bay School ultimately reflect the expertise and interests of our distinguished faculty. Therefore, the following course descriptions are meant to serve as an overview of the curriculum. A sample course progression outlining all four years of study is included at the end.
