Welcome to Santa Barbara Middle School's website!

--Evan Hughes, Class of 1999, studied music at Santa Barbara High School, received a music scholarship to UCLA and began performing with OperaUCLA, performed at many venues in LA, and won many awards. He earned a scholarship to the prestigious Curtis Institute, has had a recital in New York City, and made his debut at Carnegie Hall in January, 2008. Here is what he wrote about his SBMS experience:

“I give SBMS most of the credit for who I have turned out to be...I was encouraged to be unique. It was at SBMS that I learned I had a voice, and where I had the opportunity to get on a stage and use it. I also learned what it meant to be a good person, and how deeply fulfilling it felt to honor others for their strengths. By learning to respect others and reciprocate their respect with love and gratitude, these ideas were instilled in the fiber of my soul.”

Welcome Visitors

We are an independent, coeducational day school for grades 6-9.

SBMS was founded in 1976 by a group of students, parents, and teachers concerned about the junior high years. This group, many of whom are still involved, sought to create a school that would combine an innovative, challenging academic program with an environment responsive to the many needs of adolescent students.

For 30 years Santa Barbara Middle School has worked to fulfill and exceed these goals. Enrollment in our dynamic student body is limited to the middle grades, our specialty. See About Our School for more!
