Garden Street Academy

Garden Street Academy was a K-12 independent school located in Santa Barbara, California, United States.

Garden Street was founded as a K-6 school in 2002 and was created under the paradigm that a focus on social emotional learning is critical to academic achievement.

The campus offers classes on a historic site on the Upper Eastside of Santa Barbara, encompassing eleven acres (4.5 hectares).

When that Catholic school (known at the time as St. Anthony's Seminary) was faced with closing its doors in 2002, the founder of Garden Street Academy made an offer to continue the use of the site as a K-6 educational institution that would offer an optional Catholic education class in honor of the history of the site.

In conjunction with this internship program is a requirement for Upper School students to complete 200 hours of community service work during the fours years prior to graduation.
