SELA's Annual Gala

Spring into the Future!

SELA's 3rd annual Gala is scheduled for Saturday, March 21, 2026, 6:00-9:30pm.

Join us at the South Shore Country Club for an unforgettable evening celebrating our SELA community! Enjoy appetizers, inspiring guest speakers, a silent auction, and more; all while supporting our students.

This special annual event began two years ago when SELA celebrated 20 years of providing an International Education. It has grown into a night of community, gratitude, and fun! Proceeds from the evening will be used to upgrade our playgrounds and replace the field surface to create a mini soccer field, directly enhancing our students’ daily experiences. These improvements support SELA’s commitment to integrating soccer and tennis skills into our curriculum for children from toddler age and up.

This is a cocktail attire and an adult only special annual event that is open to current, past, and future families, as well as staff and community members. We look forward to celebrating with you!

Tickets are on sale NOW!

$75 per person January 15th - March 21st

"My children have been at SELA since they were babies, and they are now both in the SELA elementary program. The attention, support, love, and guidance of the SELA teachers is absolutely incredible. Every teacher we have had- from the Infant Room up through Elementary- has been such an important part of my children's development and growth. The teachers foster an environment of kindness, inclusion, support & genuine love & caring that I truly feel is not found everywhere. We are so lucky!"
