REQUEST INFORMATION

Welcome

Thank you for considering Santa Barbara Middle School for your child's future school. Santa Barbara Middle School seeks students and families from a variety of backgrounds. Our applicants come from schools throughout Santa Barbara County and out of state. They come with an education from private schools, public schools, home schools, and charter schools, yet they are all drawn together by a few common values: kindness, respect for one another, and a passion for learning. 

To get started, please request information before applying. We will send you a packet of information to help you learn about the Four Sides of the Diamond. To apply for admission, please follow the steps outlined on the Admissions Process page.

During the school year there are many events that will help to give you an in-depth look at our broad and unique program, and will provide valuable assistance to your decision-making process.  I encourage you to take advantage of every opportunity that you can.  

We have Open Houses, family tours, and shadow days for your student(s). We also have additional events like our annual Songfest, and opportunities for coffee with our Head of School. You'll find dates and times for these events here.

To gather information from every possible resource, I encourage you to speak informally with current and past members of our school community. If I can answer any specific questions for you, please feel free to email me.

I look forward to meeting you and your family!

Warmly,

Mandy Westerman
Director of Admissions
