Inclusivity

We prioritize inclusivity by actively promoting a welcoming and supportive environment where every student feels valued and empowered.

Why Bay View?

Our students have the opportunity to put to use their knowledge and skills in math, language arts, social studies, science, visual and performing arts and technology by working together in teams, and as individuals, to solve problems, answer important questions, and engage with their community. We like to call this the BVA way.
