“I researched schools that could accommodate our daughter’s unique interests… SBS figured out how to meet our daughter where she was and they have been with her every step of the way. Her teachers and her advisor have shown up for her and support her wholeheartedly. The commitment of the SBS faculty and staff amazes me.”

Juliana Camacho

World Languages Teacher

“Making SBS a safe space for all students is a daily commitment of the adults in this community. As teachers, we work across disciplines with an equity framework for culturally responsive literacy, which showcases other ways of being in the world and challenges single stories. We celebrate our students' diverse backgrounds, strong voices and evolving identities. We support them in discovering how vast, complex and ever changing we all are, and we give them space to flourish with confidence and joy.”

History Teacher

“I like that SBS has a mission that distinguishes it from other local private schools. It attracts people who want to work and learn together and figure out what it means to empower voices at a girls’ school today in western Massachusetts. I also enjoy teaching History at SBS for all the reasons people say teaching History today is both important and difficult, and I hope that, at least today, students find my class to be a good use of time and, if not this year, then at some point they’ll look back on my class and think that it was meaningful and fun.”
