Overview
Maybeck is a co-educational, teacher run, independent, college preparatory high school.
Approximately 120 students are enrolled in grades 9-12. Maybeck High School offers a unique opportunity in the East Bay for students to engage with an academically challenging college-preparatory curriculum in a collaborative rather than competitive environment.
Maybeck students find creative, intelligent peers who are excited about learning.
At Maybeck, the students and faculty together are engaged in intense intellectual exploration.
We respect our students as individuals, encouraging independent thought and trusting them to be responsible for and invested in their own educations.
In this challenging but safe setting, students are encouraged to take personal and intellectual risks.
Our graduates leave us as sophisticated thinkers and confident navigators of the world around them.
Through our small classes, high expectations, academic excellence, and programs outside the school, students prepare for college and acquire the tools to engage actively and creatively in the wider world.
Urban School believes there is a better way to educate high school students.
For more than half a century our educational innovations have ignited the minds of Urban graduates, who pursue their passion for learning at the nation`s best colleges, and who go out into the world uniquely equipped to solve the challenges their generation will face.
Urban teaches students how to think, not what to think.
We seek students with an enthusiastic approach to learning and a clear capacity for success in a rigorous academic program.
Urban`s extraordinary teachers challenge our 420 students with a college-preparatory curriculum in math, science, arts and humanities with comprehensive service learning and competitive athletics programs, and a rich selection of co-curricular activities.
Through strong relationships with their teachers, advisors and with each other, Urban students learn early on how to navigate a culture of collaboration, inclusion and mutual respect.
