Seabury School

SEABURY IS AN INDEPENDENT SCHOOL SPECIALIZING IN EDUCATION FOR GIFTED CHILDREN IN PREK - GRADE 8, WITH ADDITIONAL SUMMER CAMPS AND PARENT EDUCATION PROGRAMS.

SEABURY SCHOOL IS THE ONLY INDEPENDENT SCHOOL IN THE SOUTH PUGET SOUND THAT SPECIALIZES IN EDUCATION FOR GIFTED CHILDREN IN GRADES PREK-8. SEABURY'S MISSION IS TO, "CHALLENGE GIFTED CHILDREN IN A COMMUNITY THAT CHERISHES EACH INDIVIDUAL AND FOSTERS A LOVE OF LEARNING, DISCOVERY AND CREATIVITY." SEABURY USES A CHILD-CENTERED APPROACH TO ADDRESS THE ACADEMIC, INTELLECTUAL, SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL NEEDS OF STUDENTS. ALL ASPECTS OF SEABURY'S PROGRAM HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED TO SUPPORT THE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF ITS GIFTED STUDENTS BASED ON EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH AND BEST PRACTICES FOR CHILD-CENTERED GIFTED EDUCATION. BECAUSE OF ITS UNIQUE PROGRAM, SEABURY DRAWS STUDENTS FROM THROUGHOUT THE REGION. SEABURY'S NEED-BASED FINANCIAL AID PROGRAM MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR MORE STUDENTS WHO WOULD BENEFIT FROM SEABURY'S PROGRAM AND SERVICES TO ATTEND. IN THE 21-22 SCHOOL YEAR, MORE THAN 50% OF STUDENTS RECEIVED FINANCIAL AID. IN ADDITION TO ITS SCHOOL PROGRAM, SEABURY PROVIDES BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL CARE. SEABURY SERVED 98 STUDENTS IN 21-22.

IN ADDITION TO SEABURY'S SCHOOL PROGRAM, SEABURYSQUARED OFFERS PROGRAMS AND SERVICES TO CHILDREN, PARENTS AND TEACHERS IN THE COMMUNITY. GIFTED CHILDREN HAVE UNIQUE EDUCATIONAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL NEEDS THAT ARE OFTEN NOT WELL SERVED IN TYPICAL SCHOOL PROGRAMS. TRADITIONAL SYSTEMS FOR IDENTIFICATION OF GIFTED CHILDREN OFTEN MISS STUDENTS WHO NEED SERVICES, PARTICULARLY STUDENTS OF COLOR, STUDENTS OF LOW SOCIOECONOMIC MEANS, AND TWICE-EXCEPTIONAL STUDENTS. SEABURYSQUARED PROVIDES ENRICHMENT CLASSES AND CAMPS FOR STUDENTS FROM THE COMMUNITY AS WELL AS PROGRAMS ON PARENTING AND EDUCATING GIFTED CHILDREN FOR PARENTS AND EDUCATORS. PROGRAM PARTICIPATION DOES NOT REQUIRE TESTING OR QUALIFICATION ANY STUDENT OR FAMILY INTERESTED MAY ATTEND AND FINANCIAL AID IS PROVIDED BASED ON NEED. APPROXIMATELY 80% OF SEABURYSQUARED PARTICIPANTS ARE FROM THE COMMUNITY (NOT SEABURY STUDENTS). SEABURYSQUARED PROGRAMS EXTEND THE SERVICES SEABURY PROVIDES TO GIFTED CHILDREN, THEIR FAMILIES AND THE LOCAL EDUCATION COMMUNITY, ALLOWING SEABURY TO SERVE AS A REGIONAL RESOURCE FOR GIFTED EDUCATION SERVICES. SEABURYSQUARED PROGRAMS FOR STUDENTS INCLUDE WEEKEND ENRICHMENT CLASSES, AFTER SCHOOL CLASSES, SUMMER CAMPS AND MORE. PROGRAMS FOR PARENTS AND EDUCATORS INCLUDE SEABURY'S ANNUAL SPEAKER SERIES, WORKSHOPS, AND CLASSES. DUE TO COVID-19, SEABURYSQUARED PROGRAMMING FOR ADULTS WAS CANCELLED DURING THE 20-21 SCHOOL YEAR. CLASSES FOR STUDENTS INCLUDED SATURDAY ENRICHMENT CLASSES DURING FALL, WINTER AND SPRING TERMS, AND A FOUR WEEK SUMMER CAMP PROGRAM DURING THE SUMMER OF 2021.
