COMMUNITY creates the magic

At SBMS, our community is the foundation of our school and creates the magic on which a SBMS experience is built. We believe that one of the secrets to our program lies in the strength of the bonds between students, teachers, and parents. Our unique program provides the opportunity for respect, openness, and trust to form between these groups, which is then taken out into our larger community and world.

Some of the activities and events which build our strong internal community include:
  • Town Meeting (every Friday afternoon)
  • Homecoming
  • Sunrise Swim (every Friday morning)
  • Fall Expedition Media Presentation 
  • End of Year Expeditions Media Presentations 
  • Spring Dinner & Auction 
  • Rites of Passage
  • Solstice Hike & Ride
  • Songfest
  • Special Meetings in Our Kiva
  • Parent/Student/Teacher Conferences
  • Career Study Week & Community Service

our three golden rules

    • TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF

    • TAKE CARE OF OTHERS

    • TAKE CARE OF THIS PLACE

Santa Barbara Middle School cultivates in our students passion for life and life-long learning, a deep sense of trust in themselves, strength and courage to succeed at life's challenges, and compassion and respect for others.
