"Finding Joy in the Journey"
|
Dear Sea Crest families, One of the most powerful gifts in challenging moments is the privilege of working with students and teachers in settings filled with joy. Rooted in our values, we have the opportunity—every single day—to bring humor, love, and connection into the world. At Sea Crest, we believe that joy isn’t just a fleeting emotion—it’s a mindset, a practice, and a guiding principle in everything we do. This year, our institutional theme, Finding Joy in the Journey, reminds us that even amidst challenges, we can choose to embrace curiosity, laughter, and moments of connection. In our classrooms, hallways, and shared spaces, we witness the magic of discovery, the kindness of a helping hand, and the resilience of young minds eager to learn and grow. We get to counter heaviness with lightness, fear with laughter, and negativity with the unwavering belief that joy is a force—one that sustains and strengthens our entire community. As we continue this journey together, I invite you to watch below for updates on our school’s progress, including highlights from our strategic plan, tuition, budget, Board of Trustees, and some special events this spring. Your partnership and engagement make this work meaningful, and I’m excited to share what’s ahead for Sea Crest! Best, Lauren Miller

Sea Crest School is proud of its focus on people, programs, and spaces. The School has continued to refine and articulate our Primary, Secondary, and Upper School divisions. The Marine Science, Makers, Art, Spanish, Theater Arts, Athletics, and Music programs have grown, enriching the overall JK-8th student experience. Enhancing the Library, Reef, Art Studio, and multiple classrooms demonstrates the School’s commitment to student-centered spaces. But perhaps the most important priority is the retention, support, and growth of our amazing faculty and staff.
Sea Crest teachers know, challenge, and love our children. When a student walks onto campus they are part of our community. They can depend not only on their core teachers but a network of faculty and staff that is devoted to supporting them each day. From the front desk to the student support team, to the teaching assistants and the administration, we are excited to be part of your child's educational journey. Thank you for sharing your child with us each and every day!
