Bayside Academy

Every backpack tells a story.
Some carry cleats. Some hold scripts, sketchbooks, robotics projects, sheet music, or leadership notebooks. Different passions, different talents, different dreams—but all finding a place to grow at Bayside Academy.
At Bayside, we believe in educating the whole student. Whether you're an athlete, actor, engineer, leader, philanthropist, or innovator, you'll find opportunities to discover your strengths and pursue your passions.
Because being an Admiral isn't about fitting into one mold—it's about becoming the very best version of yourself.

It’s time to clean out those closets! Bayside Academy Parents Association is now collecting gently used uniforms for our upcoming Used Uniform Sale.
Donations help Bayside families prepare for a new school year while supporting our PA in a meaningful way. Please make sure all items are clean and in good condition before dropping them off.
Thank you for helping fellow Admirals and giving these uniforms a second life!

Bayside Academy is officially in summer mode!
Camps are underway, our administrative team is hard at work, and preparations for the next school year have already begun. While our doors are always open, it’s nice to take a moment to rest and reflect after another successful year on the Bay.
We hope our Admirals are enjoying a well-deserved summer break, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone back soon!

Bayside Academy proudly celebrates the Class of 2026 Valedictorian and Salutatorian!
Valedictorian – Sara Sahlie Marcato
A fierce varsity volleyball player with an equally compassionate heart, Sara Sahlie has inspired those around her through her intellect, determination, and empathy. She plans to pursue a career in medicine and will attend the University of Georgia this fall.
Salutatorian – Benjamin Declan Klecker
A thoughtful scholar and member of Bayside’s sailing team, Ben challenged himself with one of the most rigorous academic schedules in the class. He will attend Auburn University where he plans to study neuroscience and philosophy.
Congratulations to these exceptional students and the entire Class of 2026!

We are hard at work transforming Bayside Academy into a magnificent outdoor venue for tonight's graduation ceremony. The ceremony will begin at 6 p.m. If you cannot make it to the bluff for graduation, join us via our livestream.

On the eve of graduation, Bayside Academy’s Class of 2026 gathered for a beautiful Baccalaureate Service at the Pilot Center, surrounded by close family and loved ones in an intimate and meaningful setting. The evening was filled with reflection and gratitude as we celebrated this special milestone together before Commencement.
A heartfelt thank you to Chad Stafford, parent of Evan Stafford ’26, for sharing words of wisdom and encouragement with our soon-to-be graduates. In his message, he reflected on Psalm 90:12 — “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom” — reminding students to cherish each moment and move forward with purpose, gratitude, and faith.
Congratulations, Class of 2026. Your Bayside family is proud of you and excited for all that lies ahead.

If you are inspired by the idea of learning, leading, and growing alongside passionate colleagues on the beautiful eastern shores of Mobile Bay, we invite you to introduce yourself!
