Seabury School in France 2012!
The Seabury Middle School program for 2012 includes a spring trip to France.
The group will be traveling with NETC Educational Travel to Paris, Normandy and the Loire Valley. The activities planned and locations the group will visit tie seamlessly to next year's curriculum, and will allow faculty to cover aspects of world and U.S. history, international law and civics, art and art history, geography, social customs, French language and much, much more - not to mention the priceless impact of travel and lifelong memories! For more information, contact the middle school office.

Seabury Middle School
An innovative, dynamic program for gifted students in grades 6-8.
Imagine Loving Middle School!
When the city is your classroom, there is no limit to learning opportunities. A study of civics becomes an opportunity to visit courtrooms and city council meetings, and to meet with government leaders. Studying the history and architecture of Tacoma means doing original research using local archives and working with local historians and architects to visit and study your subject in person. Studying the influence of Mt. Rainier, its glaciers, and its rivers on the development of the region means hiking to a glacier with a glaciologist from a local university and meeting with farmers who depend on the river for their rich, Puyallup Valley soil. Leadership and community service means creating a mural to bring life and color to a drab alley, and means involvement with meaningful projects that make a positive difference in the community.
Seabury Middle School's program is founded on the belief that students learn and grow most deeply when they are engaged in projects that are relevant, engaging, challenging and meaningful. Working in collaboration, not only with other middle school students, but with community organizations and local experts, students have the opportunity to develop leadership, participate in community service, and engage in rigorous studies that truly make a difference in their own lives and in their community. During the middle school years, when students are beginning to develop their sense of themselves in the world, Seabury Middle School gives students the opportunity to learn, lead and serve in ways that are not possible in traditional school programs.
