Raising the Bar

Making honors classes universal benefits all students.

Raising the Bar

We’ve seen the concerned social media posts and communication regarding our “Universal Access” initiative — or co-seating as it is commonly called — in Santa Barbara Unified.

And we want to open this critical conversation to everyone.

We have collectively served your families for decades, and we believe that in order to best prepare students for college and careers, we must ensure that all of our courses and programs reflect the diversity of our schools, eliminate real or perceived barriers of access, and provide rigorous preparation for all students.
