We build strong, collaborative relationships to fuel a diverse, inclusive community committed to lifelong learning.
Bay View Academy’s Big Idea is to enhance our outdoor learning environments by adding shaded outdoor classrooms, flexible seating areas, and soft play spaces for our youngest learners. Many of our TK–Kinder students spend over nine hours a day on campus, and this project will ensure they have safe, comfortable, and engaging areas for learning, creativity, and rest. Your support will help us create spaces that promote curiosity, wellness, and equity in public education.
Bay View Academy serves a diverse population within Monterey County, specifically focusing on families in our local community who need safe, supportive educational environments for their children. By enriching our campus with flexible learning spaces and outdoor classrooms, we provide students—many of whom spend extended hours on campus—with healthier, more engaging environments that promote academic success, social-emotional growth, and overall well-being. Our project supports working families and helps close opportunity gaps, contributing to stronger community outcomes throughout Monterey County.
Our children thrive in Bay View’s well-rounded approach to education. They’ve grown immensely through the school’s exceptional art programs, its rigorous academic curriculum, and the emphasis on real-world experiences. From interning with the Seaside City Council to participating in meaningful community volunteer opportunities, Bay View students are encouraged to engage with the world around them in thoughtful, impactful ways. The field trips have also been unforgettable, bringing learning to life outside the classroom, a definite highlight for each of the kids that attend. BVA is an asset to Monterey County and to our children.
