Mission Statement
Maybeck is a small community dedicated to learning, where all forms of diversity can flourish amid mutual support, respect, and responsibility. 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.
 
How Maybeck Got Its Name
Maybeck High School is named after the regional architect, Bernard Maybeck (1862-1957), whose work represents imagination and excellence and provides a model for the school's vision of education. Bernard Maybeck's concern for the environment and his appreciation for disciplined technique inspired his use of local natural materials and superb craftsmanship within the existing landscape. The school works to achieve a similar union between the traditional study of academic subject matter and the exploration and appreciation of nature.

"My father talked to me from childhood about the importance of doing what I wanted to do, of being true to myself. He urged me to let my art rather than any financial consideration have first place in mind and heart always. That was the finest lesson my father taught me."

-- Bernard Maybeck, 1927
