November Accredited Program Photo Winner

AEE's Accreditation Calendar Photo Contest Winner for the month
is Santa Barbara Middle School, Santa Barbara, California.

On a cold, wet ride, SBMS 7th graders push the personal
buondaries that enable them to discover their inner-strength.
Such challenges are a critical part of the school's education program. Photographer: Whitney Heimlich Ingersoll

Santa Barbara Middle School

SBMS is an independent co-educational school serving grades 6-9. Through cycling and other intensive outdoor activities, students face challenge and adversity. Ultimately, they discover their inner strength and the depth of their compassion for others. Our students learn self-reliance, concern for peers and a life-long attitude of service.
