Seabury School

In addition to seaburys school program, seaburysquared offers programs and services to children, parents and educators in the broader south sound region. 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 limited 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, so any student or family interested may attend. 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 during the 23.24 school year included saturday enrichment classes and 4 weeks of summer camps. Programs for parents and educators included seaburys annual speaker series, co-sponsored by the university of puget sound school of education and featuring austina debonte, a local expert in parenting and education gifted and twice-exceptional students. Seaburysquared also offered a series of 3 parent education workshops on raising gifted children led by seabury s head of school. Planning is already in process for seaburysquared programming for the upcoming school year.
