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.


Also, you may borrow school videos from the office, and I welcome and encourage you to speak informally with current and past members of our school community. Again, thank you for your interest in our school. If you have any questions, please call me at 682-2989, or email whitney@sbms.org
