History
The Bay School opened in the Presidio in 2004; at that time, a single class of 9th graders made up the student body. During the first school year, students attended classes in a temporary building, a "long, majestic white building on Schofield Road facing the bay".[5] In August 2005, the school moved to 35 Keyes Avenue and has since added two nearby buildings in the Presidio.[citation needed]
