Journey with us

For more than 40 years, SBMS has honed our curriculum, outdoor education, and teaching philosophy to further our students’ self-discovery and capacity for global thinking. Through authentic relationships, thought-provoking classes and outdoor expeditions, students face challenge and overcome adversity, which leads to resilience. This “Hero’s Journey” is their process of becoming.   
 
Every hero needs a support team. The generous contributions from our community allow us to weather storms and celebrate success as we maintain and expand our school programs. We offer our heroes the best possible middle school experience. Thank you for joining us.
