Seabury Hall is an inclusive community that prepares students for a successful college experience, fosters a passion for lifelong development of mind, body, and character, and inspires responsible citizenship. Seabury Hall is an independent, co-educational, college preparatory school affiliated with the Episcopal Church while welcoming all faiths and belief systems.
What is more challenging to do online is to get a real feel for our school community that serves a vital, diverse student body. The campus is populated with a warm staff whose most genuine desire is to support the students as they engage in an outstanding college preparatory education. This education would not be possible without the faculty themselves, who uphold strong academic standards and offer a wide variety of courses, including rigorous AP options, designed to help our students get placed into the country's best colleges.
Through our website, you will also discover another aspect of the traditional college-preparatory experience: its offerings of art, dance, music, and fifteen different sports ranging from traditional volleyball, basketball, and cross country teams to island favorites of surfing and paddling.
While our students are learning and doing, they are also developing a meaningful life. A robust advisory program and all-school assemblies bring the community together and support the growth of each student's character and intellect, and sense of belonging. If you want to get an accurate picture of the entire Seabury Hall experience, seek out its alumni, a lineage of successful leaders, who will share their personal experiences of an educational community that is prepared to teach and inspired to care. Seabury Hall has been educating the best and the brightest of Maui since 1964 while also evolving to serve today's students by balancing tradition and innovation.
Seabury Hall is committed to creating a learning environment that allows young minds to expand. Students learn how to think critically, explore creatively, study, and question in a safe and caring atmosphere. As students move from grade level to grade level and the freedom of choice and responsibility increases, the support system of teachers, advisors, deans, counselors, and administrators works closely with students to help them succeed while discovering themselves and pursuing their passions.
Students are nurtured to become proficient in the necessary skills of each core discipline with a college-preparatory curriculum. This gives them the structure and decision-making tools to become responsible, accountable citizens in a community where rules are followed, and respect for self, others, and their surroundings is our highest priority.
Consequently, when students experience difficulty, the teacher, the advisor, the Dean, the Dean of Students, the school counselor, and the Upper School Head all work together to assist and guide the student to a positive path. Sometimes this occurs by listening, by directing a student to the right person or program, by offering advice, and often it occurs by doing some of each. Therefore, It is helpful that this support group be part of the "need to know" circle when information is disseminated regarding a student in difficulty. Each person will play his or her part. Advisors, deans, and the Dean of Students, for the most part, are not trained counselors and, therefore, will not attempt to perform counseling roles but instead will be supportive listeners and observers, referring concerns to the Head of the Upper School. The Head of the Upper School will then involve the appropriate support for people. At its best, the support system will help the student and their family feel like they are in good hands before, during, and after the ordeal allowing the student and family the maximum opportunity to recover, reflect, and grow.
