Admissions

 

Welcome to Bishop Seabury Academy.

This school is a great experiment in learning, begun by parents and educators who were dissatisfied with bureaucratic templates for shaping children and who wished to design a school where teachers do more than present information, grades, and diplomas. They wanted a school where students would be treated as individuals with potential to be well-rounded, thoughtful, ethical beings who would one day be powerful contributors to our society. They wanted a school where “teaching the whole child” would be not simply a marketing catch phrase but an urgent objective with tangible results. We are indeed an “independent” school—proudly so—because our practices and methods are driven by the needs and learning tendencies of actual children, our parents are active participants in their children’s education, and our teachers are free to do what they do best.

Bishop Seabury Academy offers a unique school culture that is visible the moment one walks through the front doors. Ours students are respectful, confident, and broadly skilled, and they enjoy a rigorous curriculum and high expectations in all areas of their education, whether academic, athletic or artistic. Small class sizes allow teachers an unusual level of familiarity with the needs and personalities of their pupils and assure that every student must be involved in class discussion. Coaches do not cut students from teams, so all students have the opportunity to compete and to demonstrate their strength of body and character. Likewise, the arts program at Bishop Seabury Academy mounts six ambitious productions, multiple concerts, and several visual arts exhibits. Our school also supports a substantial program of community service work throughout the year, and students are encouraged to take an active role in improving both the school and the greater community of Lawrence.

Our students come from a variety of economic, ethnic, and religious backgrounds. More than 25% of our students receive financial aid and merit scholarships. Eighty-five percent of our faculty hold advanced degrees and represent an average of 17 years experience per teacher. Last year’s graduating class of 13 students received 53 acceptances from 33 different colleges, and scholarships offered from these schools totaled more than $2,000,000. All of the students who have graduated from Bishop Seabury Academy have gone on to college.

Welcome to our school.

Dr. Don Schawang
Head of School
