Meet Bay Farm's

Gráinne Murray, Bay Farm’s Head of School

The moment I stepped on campus at Bay Farm, I sensed a palpable culture of kindness and widespread affection for each of our students. This level of care shows up in student progress, faculty and staff collaboration, and our close-knit community of families and friends. Bay Farm is truly a special place, and I invite you to visit our campus and experience all we have to offer.

Joining such a strong school with notable momentum is especially exciting. Bay Farm’s dual accreditation is a distinguishing attribute, one that ensures the highest academic standards, an exceptional faculty, excellence in programming, and a truly child-centered mission. Bay Farm kids are joyful and curious learners who benefit every day across our spectacular nine-acre campus.

We are fortunate for the foresight of Dr. Maria Montessori, and her deep belief in the transformative power of global education to contribute to peace, justice, and equity on a global scale. More than a century later, Bay Farm Montessori Academy remains resolute in our commitment to Montessori education.

Come see it in action! I hope to see you soon.
