Sewickley Academy welcomed students back to school on Sept. 1.

“The first day of school was filled with high energy, warmth, and lots of smiles,” said associate head of school Chris Anderson. “Our community was thrilled to be reunited, and our teachers dedicated time for students to get to know each other while immediately engaging students in interesting activities and lessons.”

Students, teachers and parents will notice an increase in safety and security measures, and this year marks the beginning of a new computer science program for students of all ages — pre-K through 12th grade.

But, the focus this year at Sewickley Academy isn’t all on academics.

“We are renewing our focus on our Community of Respect guidelines, in which we demonstrate kindness, honor and respect for self and others in all situations,” Anderson said.
