Bishop Seabury Academy

Bishop Seabury Academy is a private, co-educational, Episcopal middle school and high school (grades 6–12) in Lawrence, Kansas.  The school is accredited by ISACS (Independent Schools Association of the Central States) and is a member of KSHSAA. It is named for Samuel Seabury, first bishop of the Episcopal Church in the United States and a British Loyalist during the American Revolution.  It is currently one of two private middle/high schools in Lawrence. 

Their dress code is relatively strict and requires that students wear khaki pants or shorts with, at least, a 3 inch inseam. the students must wear a collared black, navy, hunter green, white, or gray polo shirt. This polo must be tucked in. A belt must be worn at all times. Shoes must be closed-toed and hair must be a natural-looking color.

History 
Bishop Seabury Academy was founded in 1997 by its board of trustees and opened with about 32 students at 1411 E. 1850 Road, east of Lawrence in what used to be the Kaw Valley School. Kris Pueschel was the head of school for the first several years. The school went through a rough period during the 2001–2002 school year.  Later that winter, Pueshel was removed from his position by the board of trustees. The following year Chris Carter was installed as head of school.

In 2003 the school moved to the Alvamar Racquet Club building at 4120 Clinton Parkway in southwest Lawrence after a large renovation project that turned the building's four tennis courts into classrooms, a science lab, full size gym and stage, and a computer lab. The school also uses an adjacent building (called the annex) on the campus for administrative offices. In December 2006, the school announced a $1.5 million 10th Anniversary Capital Campaign to replace the annex with a new building. This renovation has begun but is not yet completed (as of 2018). 
In 2007, Carter resigned and Dr. Don Schawang, who had taught at the school since 2000, was appointed Headmaster.
