Imagine a school where Monday mornings are just as much fun for children as are the weekends. Sea Crest School is an institution where pupils excitedly await the arrival of each school day. The enriching and innovative curriculum integrates arts and technology into core academics and empowers children to engage with each other, their teachers, and members of the local community.

Founded in 1996, Sea Crest is an independent, K-8 school that is an integral part of the scenic and welcoming San Mateo county coastside community, just minutes from both Silicon Valley and San Francisco. The school serves families from Pacifica to Pescadero and the peninsula, including the charming historic town of Half Moon Bay.

Sea Crest is a place where the childhood traits of curiosity, play, and inquiry combine to foster a joyful educational experience, where academic excellence and character-building are equally and greatly valued. We pride ourselves on small class sizes, allowing each child's individual academic and social needs to be addressed.

A solid foundation is built through Socratic debate, hands-on activities, public speaking, experiential trips, a health and wellness program, and the use of innovative technologies. Our creative faculty and staff challenge our pupils to engage curiosity, express creativity, act with compassion, and lead with courage.
