About Us

The school philosophy reflects the traditional three R's and adds a T, for keeping pace with technological learning. The Bay Head School creates a learning environment that fosters the curiosity, imagination, and intelligence of children. Our goal is to give children a comfortable environment in which to explore and learn about their world. We want our students to develop a love of learning that will give them the self-confidence and motivation to succeed in their lives. Our small class size enables us to accomplish our goals.
