More than college prep, FUTURE PREP
Prep with PurposeAt Bay, we value and encourage student voice in all
aspects of school life. From Socratic seminar discussions
to starting and leading clubs, you will develop your voice
as you become a critical thinker, effective communicator,
self-advocate and ethical leader.
The skills and knowledge you gain at Bay go beyond
course listings and classrooms – they extend to the life
you will lead.

We begin the day as a full community. At Morning Meeting we gather to see one another and share. We might hear from a community innovator sharing her latest project, watch the cast from the fall play perform, see what the robotics class has just created or listen to a 9th-grader share a personal story. After, we take a few minutes to sit in silence because, as we know from brain research, mindfulness helps us be better prepared for the day. Finally, we make birthday, sports, and community service announcements. Morning Meeting puts us all on the same page.

Building a Mindful Community
What does it mean to be mindful? It means thinking
carefully and acting intentionally. At Bay, students and
teachers think carefully not only about academics but
also about how we treat one another. Understanding
what an author or classmate is saying, valuing one
another even when we disagree, and sharing our
experiences – this is how Bay creates real connections.
This mindful approach is vital as you enter a world
where difficult questions often have no simple answers.
“ In the discussions, I think one of the most special things is seeing the entire class – every single kid – having a thoughtful opinion and taking it very seriously and discussing the things that are important...everyone really values everyone’s opinions.” ÚIsabelle, Bay ’14, Boston College
