Supportive and dynamic environment for high school students with learning differences. My son has completed 3 quarters of his Freshman year at this private school, and this is the best fit for him. There are 6 - 10 students in each class, so there are less distractions for him than when he was in public school. This also enables the teacher to provide individual instruction when needed. His anxiety level has dropped dramatically since attending Bayhill, and his confidence level is high. His homework is manageable but at a challenging level. We do have to commute into Berkeley each day, but it is

The teachers are unbelievably dedicated. (One English teacher still helps former students edit papers even now that they are in college.) The new campus (in Berkeley near the gourmet ghetto) is cozy, welcoming and amazingly equipped for

Bayhill High School is an extraordinary educational institution recently moved to Berkeley from Oakland. This is an academic high school intended for kids with learning challenges. The caliber of staff and faculty is extremely high, almost beyond belief. The new facilities (the school has taken over the building that formerly housed the upper school at Archway) is quite nice. The school is well organized, and has a nice and fun (but academically serious) feeling about it. Classes are quite small, and each schedule is individually tailored.
The school population is split fairly evenly between kids
