The St. Louis Lifestyle
St. Louis has something for everyone. There are dense, vibrant, urban neighborhoods, newer-style suburbs and everything in between all within driving distance of Bayless' campus. St. Louis's downtown skyline and the Gateway Arch are visible from parts of our campus.
St. Louis was recently ranked as the best city for new college graduates by Insurify. On top of that, our housing and rent costs are significantly lower when compared to metropolitan areas of similar size. Our food and nightlife scene also rivals cities of larger sizes.
Something you will hear many St. Louisans talk about is the number of free amenities available to all. The World-Class St. Louis Zoo is free, as is the Art Museum and all of Forest Park — one of the nation's best urban parks.
If you are into sports, St. Louis has the 11-time World Champion Cardinals, the 2019 Stanley Cup Champion Blues and the new (among the best in the league) St. Louis City SC MLS Club.
St. Louis is also on the tour route for most major music acts, and has the nation's second-oldest outdoor theatre, The Fabulous Fox Theatre, and the St. Louis Opera.

What our teachers said in an anonymous survey:
“The students are almost never a disciplinary problem. I have wide latitude to experiment with different teaching and assessment methods, and to address content in novel ways. I feel like I have a direct line to administrators and that my opinion matters and is considered before they make a final decision. Administrators demonstrate a caring, positive attitude toward the success of their teachers.”
"I feel well-supported and cared for. I appreciate how Bayless School District values wellness and community."
"Everyone is treated as part of the family, and you can ask absolutely anyone for assistance and it will be provided with a smile."
"The people in our building are unmatched. They are truly some of the kindest teachers, staff members, and families I've experienced in my teaching career. Everyone is working together towards a common goal. "
"Administrators are helping me grow as a leader and helping me follow my dreams in my educational career. I receive support when I need it, but they will step back and let me make decisions to help me grow as a leader."
"I teach with wonderful people. Everyone comes to work with a positive attitude, gives 110%, is a team player, and always gives their best."
Leading at Bayless:
"It’s a district unlike any other. We are one of the most diverse school districts in the state of Missouri. Our families are supportive, involved and proud to send their students to Bayless.
"You can make a difference here. There are no limits to what you as a leader can achieve with your staff. Our district leaders and Board of Education fully support our goals and are committed to providing opportunities for our students to grow and learn so they may become the best possible version of themselves."
