At Bayfront Charter, we are dedicated to empowering students to pursue their college dreams. We offer a wide range of classes that meet college “A-G” requirements. Our teachers provide a rigorous curriculum that includes English, math, science, and foreign languages. We focus not only on academic skills but also on critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving. Our supportive environment encourages students to challenge themselves, explore their interests, and prepare for college. We believe all students should have the chance to reach their post-secondary goals, and our curriculum helps make that possible.
