At Bishop Seabury we believe that students' potential can only be reached when they try their hardest. It is not always an easy lesson to learn. A successful person learns to substitute immediate pleasure for long-term gain. The rewards of this choice are extraordinary, leading to solid achievement and authentic self esteem. Teachers will show their respect for students by asking the most from them.
Average effort indicates no effort to grow.
Above-average homework is not done in haste, but is thoughtful, neat, timely, and done with an attention to detail. Above-average homework is accomplished with quality time. When completing an essay, journal or writing project out of class, an average student will complete the project with the required length, neatness, grammatical soundness, and detail. An above-average student will revise work thoughtfully and effectively, and will show a consistent pattern of improvement. We believe that it is a privilege to attend the Academy.
