Please read first: Bay View Academy (BVA) is a public, K-8 charter school that opened its doors for the 2011-2012 school year. Like traditional public schools, BVA is free and open to all students. Bay View Academy accepts and depends upon donations and fundraising to completely fund our program. We request that each family pledge 30 hours of parent/family service to the school per school year, and be in agreement with the school’s community-based whole child approach to teaching and learning. Founded on the core principles of community, innovation, and passion for learning, BVA offers a broad academic program that sparks imaginations and produces creative and critical thinkers. Using charter school flexibility, BVA allows students to discover and pursue their interests, offers hands-on learning, actively involves parents, and extends the classroom beyond its walls into the community. Community involvement, including partnerships with local educational, cultural and research organizations enriches the academic program. At BVA, all children are artists, authors, scientists, musicians, and mathematicians.
