Maybeck is a coeducational, teacher run, independent, college preparatory high school. Maybeck High School is located in Berkeley, California. Maybeck, established in 1972, is a small community dedicated to learning, where all forms of diversity can flourish amid mutual support, respect, and responsibility. 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. Many talented individuals work at Maybeck High School, people who are devoted to the causes of learning. Sarah Herr, head teacher, deals mostly with paperwork and acts behind the scenes now, though she will occasionally substitute or teach a Ball Room Dancing physical education course.
