Thank you for considering Santa Barbara Middle School as your student's future school. We appreciate the time, care and effort you are taking in this very important decision. SBMS seeks to enroll students who are committed to intellectual and personal growth. We look for those students who can contribute to our community through their talents in academics, athletics, the arts, leadership, and community service.

There are several activities that will help to give you an in-depth look at our broad and unique program, and could provide valuable assistance to your decision-making process beginning with requesting an Information Packet. (Please call the office at 805-682-2989--we'd love to speak with you.) During the academic year you are welcome to join us at a variety of events, shown on the Admissions Timetable page.

For more background about the admissions process, as well as the substance and history of the school, watch interviews with Whitney in the Faculty section of the website. Here are some admissions-related questions:

• What do you look for in new and returning students?
  
  
• What do you tell students to encourage them to come here?
