Welcome to our school. We look to our pupils to embrace the traditions of our School and live up to its mottoes. We must all work very hard to enable our children to achieve their full potential in everything they do - in their work, play, and spiritual development. St. Sebastian's is a happy and lively place where we want everyone to feel at home and comfortable. The Federation of St Cuthbert’s and St Sebastian’s Catholic Primary Schools value the diverse ethnic backgrounds of all pupils and families and undertakes a variety of events and lessons to celebrate these. We are fully committed to preparing our children for life in modern Britain promoting fundamental British values. We have found this approach to be enriching for all parties as it teaches tolerance and respect for the differences in our community and the wider world. Underpinning all of this is a range of curriculum topics that have strong links to our Core Values. Our approach to the National Curriculum 2014 combined with our Creative Challenge Curriculum is that we embrace and celebrate the many faces of diversity within our world, both past, and present. Our International Schools Award reflects the high profile of our appreciation of different languages and cultures. We are committed to the teaching of MFL, including the teaching of both Spanish (and in previous years Mandarin) across our schools. More recently some children undertook the role of ambassadors for our school, city, and country by attending and presenting workshops at the International Headteachers Conference in Asia. Daily, our schools undertake daily assemblies that uphold traditional values of empathy, respect, and tolerance which are reflected within the displays within our learning environments. These British Core Values are taught within core subjects, SEAL, PSHE, RE, and Collective Worship, through the introduction of ‘Philosophy for Children’ sessions and more recently holistically through class teaching and on a more general level, the school undertakes daily assemblies which uphold traditional values of empathy, respect, and tolerance. We have collaborated closely, to devise a new and inspiring Creative Challenge Curriculum. At our schools, we strongly promote self-respect for all in our school irrespective of race, creed, or gender. Care will be taken to ensure that resources do not present stereotypical images, rather role models from diverse backgrounds and cultures reflecting the multi-ethnic nature of our society. Come and See is a Catholic Primary Religious Education program for Foundation and Key stages 1 and 2. The program of study, written by a group of experienced diocesan advisors was introduced across the Federation in September 2012 and has been warmly received by staff and pupils. The child-friendly material provided within Come and See allows children to explore the teachings of the Catholic church through the use of age-appropriate resources and activities. Each year group from Foundation 1 to year 6 has their list of focus topics to consider throughout the academic year. The topic will coincide with the church calendar however, the depth in which the topic is explored is dependent upon the respective age of the child. For example, during Lent, whilst all children will learn about the plight of Christ, our Early Years children will consider the importance of growing and new life Key Stage 1 children explore the effect of change and opportunities, with Key Stage 2 children considering the importance of self-discipline, sacrifice, death, and new life.

Committed to the pursuit of truth through faith and reason, St. Sebastian's is a Catholic independent day school for 375 young men in grades seven through twelve. With an average class size of 11 and a student/faculty ratio of 7:1, St. Sebastian's offers a program of academic rigor and spiritual depth with excellence in the arts and athletics. We believe that the essence of life is in relationships. At St. Sebastian's, where the order of the day is to love God, work hard, and take good care of one another, we nurture and develop eternal relationships with God and neighbor. We engage in a sacred partnership with our students' parents — focused on the same goal: How to help each young man become all that God wants him to be in body, mind, and soul. Neither arrogant nor apologetic about our Catholic faith, we strive to be the very strongest, very best Catholic School that we can be, and we are so wonderfully enriched by the many students, faculty, and staff, who come to us from other faith traditions, or no faith tradition at all. The message of Jesus Christ is one of inclusion, not exclusion. When we express our Mission — the pursuit of truth through faith and reason — we struggle to put into words the ineffable dynamic that defines us. By expanding our spiritual lives and intensifying our scholarship, we strive to become the most complete, most integrated people we can be. An independent Catholic school, St. Sebastian's seeks to engage young men in the pursuit of truth through faith and reason. By embracing Gospel values in an inclusive, nurturing community and inspiring intellectual excellence in a structured liberal arts curriculum, St. Sebastian strives to empower students for success in college and life. The ideal St. Sebastian's graduate will be a moral and just person, a gentleman of courage, honor, and wisdom, a lifelong learner who continues to grow in his capacity to know, love, and serve God and neighbor. Offering the best of the Catholic and Independent School traditions, St. Sebastian's is an inclusive community of academic excellence and faith. Every person is known, loved, and called to greatness. We are delighted that you are interested in learning more about our School, and we encourage you to visit our campus to experience the mission and spirit of the St. Sebastian's community. Our students pray together in Chapel and Church. They serve God and neighbor through countless hours of community service. Each sports team is blessed by our beloved Chaplain, Father John Arens, at the start of the season. Theology classes and retreats help each young man explore and deepen his faith and strengthen his moral compass. We seek to inspire the integrated, happy, healthy, holy life God wants us to live. We want our young men to go on to the most appropriate, most excellent colleges for them, and we want them to graduate prepared to commit themselves to the Mission of making this world a much better place. And we want them to go to heaven. Everything we do at St. Sebastian's will be done with this sense of ultimate purpose ever before us. "Through a classical and focused curriculum, St. Sebastian's fosters a lifelong love of learning in our students. Unusually small classes and devoted faculty provide the structure and support each student needs to succeed in this intellectually challenging environment, preparing him well for college and beyond." The curriculum is based upon the belief that students need to develop the necessary skills and habits to think critically and clearly and express themselves articulately and persuasively in both written and spoken words. We want our students to develop the capacity to reason mathematically and scientifically and to solve problems logically. Our academic program's structure encourages them to make connections between disciplines and draw inferences about the interrelationships of ideas. Rather than offer a cornucopia of electives, St. Sebastian's curriculum features thoughtfully prescribed courses in every discipline, challenging students to investigate topics in great depth. Colleges value this approach, given our students' demonstrable success in gaining admission to and succeeding in the most challenging post-secondary institutions. View full school
