Getting To Know Us
hero-banner
At Santa Barbara Middle School, we see every student as a brilliant, uncut diamond—full of potential, unique in shape, and ready to shine. Through their time at SBMS, students are challenged, supported, and inspired across four key facets: Academics, Creative Arts and Sports, Outdoor Education, and Community. With each experience—whether it’s diving into a science project, performing on stage, biking up a mountain, or lending a hand in the community—their edges smooth, their confidence grows, and their character is refined. By the time they leave us, they’ve become more self-aware, resilient, compassionate, and well-rounded young adults—ready to meet the world with both courage and clarity.
CLICK the four sides of the diamond to learn more about the SBMS philosophy.
Academics
Nurtures curiosity, critical thinking, and a lifelong love of learning through engaging, experiential education.
Outdoor Education
Builds resilience, confidence, and teamwork through expeditions, biking, and hands-on learning in the natural world.
Community
Fosters empathy, leadership, and responsibility through meaningful relationships and a commitment to making a difference.
Creative Arts and Sports
Encourages students to explore their voices through music, art, writing, and performance in a safe and vibrant environment.
