The best part of this school is all the friendly people here, but there are also teachers who need to check facts before jumping to conclusions on students

Scecina has been a wonderful experience for my children. Despite being a small school, it offers a diverse and evolving environment. One of the highlights is the accessibility of sports and clubs for everyone. For an urban private school, it feels safe. The teachers go above and beyond to accommodate the diverse population, ensuring that each student feels supported and valued. The new improvements to the campus are a bonus too.

I have been at Scecina Memorial for 3 years. I have loved my time here. It is a small kind and loving community. It takes a little to feel fully comfortable, but I think that is the same for every school. There are some downs to Scecina, like it doesn't have the best resources for outside of school activities, but the nice thing about Scecina is they are trying to improve. They are always trying to make the place better. I have always felt like I have been heard here and I think it is a lovely school to attend.
