A School Rooted in the Jacksonville Beach Community
The Waldorf-inspired curriculum at Seaside is fundamentally a nature-connected, community-rooted education. The same values that draw families to the Jacksonville Beaches – a slower pace, a relationship with the natural world, a sense of belonging to something larger than a single household – are the values that animate the Seaside educational philosophy every single school day.

“Seaside Charter at the Beach has been an incredible experience for my family. My oldest began thriving in ways I never thought possible, both academically and emotionally. The small class sizes allow teachers to give each child the individual attention they deserve. Both of my children are thriving.”
