Bayhill is pleased to announce a new afterschool program to begin in September for students in grades1 through 6. Specifically aimed at improving and developing writing skills, Bayhill’s Academy of Writing consists of 75 minute classes that students attend once a week for an established term. Each subsequent term builds on developing further skills and concepts that are grade specific. Enroll for one term or for the entire school year which is divided into four terms, each with its own set of learning goals!

Our mission is to build ongoing writing skills that are essential for school success and life long achievement.
