SUSAN B ENGLISH SCHOOL
Susan B English School is a public school that is part of the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District school district, located in Seldovia, AK with about 35 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 12th Grade. With about 2 teachers, Susan B English School has a student/teacher ratio of about 17:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.
Susan B. English School, located in the remote coastal community of Seldovia, Alaska, serves as a central hub for K-12 education in its region. As part of the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District, the school is uniquely shaped by its location on the Kenai Peninsula, where students often experience a close-knit, multi-age learning environment. Given its setting in a small, isolated town accessible primarily by boat or plane, the school plays a vital role in the local community, emphasizing small class sizes and a curriculum that reflects both state standards and the specific needs of a remote Alaskan lifestyle.
Beyond its academic offerings, the school functions as a community center for Seldovia, fostering a strong sense of school spirit and local engagement. It provides students with a tailored educational experience that focuses on preparing them for life beyond the peninsula while leveraging the natural landscape as an extension of the classroom. Through its integration with the larger Kenai Peninsula Borough School District, the school ensures that despite its geographic isolation, students have access to the resources and support services necessary to succeed in a modern educational landscape.
