Welcome to the Byam School
The Byam Elementary School has a student population of roughly 500 students from kindergarten through fourth grade and prides itself on educating the whole child and creating a caring and supportive environment from which every student to learn. The staff is committed to providing high quality instruction with a solid understanding in pedagogy and developmentally appropriate practices. Students are held to high standards and supported to achieve those standards by a host of talented educators and support staff, steadfast in their professional growth and development in order to better serve the students and families of the Byam community.
Our entire staff creates a welcoming atmosphere that fosters important partnerships with the school community. Our school is tremendously enriched by its active and responsive families.

We value these partnerships and strive to make Byam a wonderful place to learn and grow.
