Empowering Minds: Education and Schools in Our Community

Supportive Schools and a Foundation for Lifelong Learning

For physicians with families — or those planning for one — Bay Saint Louis offers a highly supportive, community-oriented education system that reflects the town’s strong values and tight-knit culture. The schools here are more than academic institutions; they are community hubs where educators know students by name, and families actively participate in their children’s growth.

The Bay-Waveland School District, which serves the city and surrounding areas, is known for its nurturing environment, small class sizes, and focus on academic achievement. Students benefit from individualized attention, robust arts and music programming, and access to early STEM education. The town also hosts a number of private and parochial schools for families seeking faith-based or alternative educational approaches.

  • Bay High School: A top-rated public high school with strong college prep programs and arts integration
