Learn About Bayside Academy

Bayside Academy opened its doors in September 1970 and has been providing students with an exceptional education ever since. At Bayside, education goes beyond the basics of reading and writing and mathematics. Our graduates excel academically and are ethical, moral leaders deeply engaged in their communities.

Applying to Bayside

At Bayside Academy, our mission is to develop the whole child, and we consistently rank as one of the state's premier independent schools. From PK3 through 12th grade, our college preparatory curriculum is grounded in our core values, the arts, and athletics. The more you learn about Bayside, the more you will sense we are a family. The connections between our teachers, students, parents, and alumni are key ingredients of the success of our school and create an environment that allows our students to thrive.

Academics at Bayside

Bayside Academy students innovate, collaborate, communicate, problem solve, and continuously redefine personal success in the pursuit of goals. They lead a life defined by a balance between happiness and high achievement. Bayside students are active participants in the learning process and critically reflect on their shared experience within a supportive teaching and learning community.

Visual & Performing Arts

At Bayside Academy, we embrace the visual, performing, and musical arts and consider creative development an integral part of a complete academic experience. Dedicated to developing the whole student, we begin with opportunities for ballet, strings, and vocal instruction at the earliest levels and continue through to full-scale dramatic productions and AP studio classes in Upper School.

Athletics at Bayside

Bayside Academy students are encouraged to participate in athletics, and we offer outstanding programs with the chance for students to excel through sportsmanship, drive, and teamwork. We field 40 teams in 17 sports for students in Grades 7–12 and have YDL offerings in 9 sports for students in Grades 1–6. We foster a culture of inclusivity and integrity, both on and off the field.

Bayside Academy is a safe haven where learning occurs on all levels, where students of all ages can interact throughout the school year, and where everyone is dedicated to establishing an environment where all students may have success in class and out of the classroom with the many athletic teams, scholastic opportunities, and social activities that are offered. Bayside is a family rich in many traditions.
