History

Bishop Seabury Academy was founded in 1997 by its board of trustees and opened with about 32 students at 1411 E. 1850 Road, east of Lawrence in what used to be the Kaw Valley School. Kris Pueschel was the head of school for the first several years. The school went through a rough period during the 2001–2002 school year. Later that winter, Pueshel was removed from his position by the board of trustees. The following year Chris Carter was installed as head of school.

In 2003 the school moved to the Alvamar Racquet Club building at 4120 Clinton Parkway in southwest Lawrence after a large renovation project that turned the building's four tennis courts into classrooms, a science lab, full size gym and stage, and a computer lab. The school also uses an adjacent building (called the annex) on the campus for administrative offices. In December 2006, the school announced a $1.5 million 10th Anniversary Capital Campaign to replace the annex with a new building. In 2007, Carter resigned and Dr. Don Schawang, who had taught at the school since 2000, was appointed Headmaster.
