I.S. 98-Bay Academy staff and teachers strive to instill self-esteem, respect for others, and the appreciation of learning. Along with this the teachers are committed to a high standard of professionalism while creating an educational atmosphere that is open minded, with values of communication and support. Bay Academy has historically been an integral part of the community, and the combination of highly motivated students, supportive parents, a talented faculty, and appropriate financial resources suggest that Bay Academy is a model of what quality public education can be. Consistency in discipline is fair but firm and boundaries keep this learning community safe and inviting for students and staff alike. All staff at the I.S. 98-Bay Academy community is trained to understand that negative behavior is a response to frustration and not a classification of a child's intentions or personality.
