Community School of Naples

Every Seahawk has a story.

This week, our Head of School, Paul Selvidio, has been busy celebrating some of the most meaningful milestones in a Seahawk’s journey—handing out diplomas to our kindergarteners, 5th graders, 8th graders, and graduating seniors.

As we gathered to honor each class, there were plenty of smiles, laughter, proud moments, and yes, a few tears. Every graduation ceremony served as a reminder of just how much these children mean to our school community. Their stories, their curiosity, their friendships, their accomplishments, and their unique gifts have helped shape the heart of Community School of Naples.

From the excitement of our youngest learners taking their first big step forward to our seniors preparing to embark on their next great adventure, each milestone reflects years of growth, perseverance, and support from families, teachers, and classmates who have walked alongside them.

We could not be more proud of all our Seahawks. They have worked hard through projects, performances, exams, competitions, and countless learning experiences to reach this moment. Now, with tests behind them and a summer filled with sunshine, exploration, and new adventures ahead, they have earned a well-deserved celebration.

Congratulations to every Seahawk and every family who helped make this year a success. We are grateful to be part of your journey and honored to watch you learn, grow, lead, and achieve.

As another remarkable school year comes to a close, we celebrate all that has been accomplished and look forward to all that is yet to come.

Once a Seahawk, always a Seahawk. We are proud to watch our Seahawks soar.

Every graduate who walks across the stage represents a community of people who helped make that moment possible.

We are grateful for our teachers, faculty, coaches, advisors, and senior leadership team who have invested their time, wisdom, and hearts into guiding our students along the way. Their dedication helps shape confident, capable young people ready for the next chapter.

But today, we also celebrate the families behind every graduate. The moms and dads who packed lunches, drove to practices, helped with homework, offered encouragement after tough days, and made sure their children always felt loved and supported.

Graduation is more than a milestone for our students—it’s a celebration of everyone who helped them get here.

To our graduates: congratulations. To the village that helped raise them: thank you. This accomplishment belongs to all of you. 💙

We proudly present the class of 2026!

Our 8th graders are officially high schoolers!

Today’s 8th Grade Commencement marked the end of one chapter and the exciting beginning of another. As they crossed the stage, our students reflected on the friendships, experiences, and memories that shaped their Middle School years while looking ahead to all that awaits them in Upper School.

From new academic opportunities and athletics to clubs, leadership roles, and campus traditions, the excitement for what comes next was evident in every smile. We are proud of all they have accomplished and can’t wait to watch them continue to grow as scholars, leaders, and Seahawks.

Congratulations to the newest members of the Upper School. Your next adventure starts now. 💙

Our 5th Grade Stepping Up Ceremony was filled with tears, applause, and proud smiles as we celebrated the incredible Class of 2032 beginning their next chapter in Middle School. From cherished Lower School memories to exciting new opportunities ahead, our students crossed the stage surrounded by the love and support of their teachers, families, and classmates.

Congratulations to our newest 6th grade class. The future is bright, and Middle School is lucky to have you. 💙
