Bishop Seabury Academy

Bishop Seabury Academy is a day school in Lawrence, Kansas. It serves 101 to 200 students in middle and high school grades. The school holds an Episcopal heritage and pursues college preparatory education. Its composite ranking of 42 reflects a school on an upward trajectory, with recent fundraising growth of nearly 40 percent signaling real institutional investment.

Day school teaching means your evenings and weekends belong to you. There is no dorm duty. There is no campus housing requirement. Teachers with families or roots in northeastern Kansas find genuine stability here—something boarding schools cannot offer. Bishop Seabury Academy also runs language programs in French, Latin, and Spanish. Most regional schools do not attempt that breadth.

The school hires for English, mathematics, sciences, history, and language faculty roles, plus athletic coaching. With fewer than 200 students, each teacher shapes curriculum and culture visibly. Your classroom ideas reach administrators who act on them. You are not one voice in a 40-person department. At a school this size, individual faculty carry real influence over direction.

Compensation reflects both the Kansas market and Bishop Seabury Academy's solid financial footing. The school's net assets and growing fundraising base suggest sustained investment in competitive wages for its size. Benefits packages include standard independent school provisions. The day-school model also reduces the hidden costs of on-campus living that many teaching positions demand elsewhere.

For educators seeking college preparatory work with Episcopal values, reasonable teaching loads, and genuine say in how the school evolves, Lawrence offers a real alternative to larger districts. Bishop Seabury Academy combines academic standards with the scale where individual teachers matter.
