Seneca Academy is a nonprofit independent day school, founded in 1983, serving children preschool through fifth grade. We foster childrenÕs natural curiosity and ignite a love of learning through a collaborative, inquiry-based program in a dynamic and welcoming community. Through the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program (IB PYP), students develop into globally-aware citizens who are compassionate and confident problem-solvers. The academic and social-emotional skills they gain at Seneca Academy prepare them to excel in a rapidly changing world. We believe children learn best when given the gift of time to wonder, to explore, and to reflect.
