School History
Overview
Imagine going to high school every day, and instead of just absorbing information, you're exploring, collaborating, and inventing.
That describes a typical day at The Bay School, where we know that when your education is lived, not lectured, you'll gain unmatched skills, unlimited creativity, and unyielding confidence.
The rigorous design of Bay's program has only been implemented by a handful of high schools around the country, and will set you apart in ways that last a lifetime.
Come as you are. Become what you want. Drew School is an independent, nonsectarian, coeducational college preparatory school serving grades 912.
At Drew, kids break the mold instead of fitting into one.
We know that teenagers learn better and achieve more when they're in an environment where their happiness, well-being and ideas are taken into account. That's why we've spent years developing a unique and supportive culture that removes barriers to learning, boosts confidence, and sets students up to be the best learners they can be.
