Located in Atlantic Beach, and part of the Jacksonville Beach communities, the Seaside Charter School sits just a mile away from the beachfront. Charter schools are common in Duval County, providing additional public schooling options.
As a charter school, Seaside educates students in kindergarten through eighth grade, providing an interdisciplinary liberal arts program inspired by the Waldorf principles within the Florida Standards framework. This means that arts, movement, nature and music are blended into everyday academic instruction.
What sets Seaside apart are their unique tools for success, such as the Waldorf looping method that encourages teachers to stay with students for more than one year. Giving students limited access to technology and engaging students in the early hours of school for the majority of intellectual work are a are also Seaside hallmarks. Your student can expect to spend time exploring outside and learning cooking, gardening and fiber arts.
One of three Seaside campuses in Jacksonville, enrolled students also benefit from moderate class sizes. And after dropping your child off at school, or when you pick them up, you can visit the nearby bustling shopping plazas on Mayport Road or Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park to enjoy the Florida sun.
