At Westside School, joyful learning is at the forefront of education. It is a place where imagination is invited, all students are seen and heard, and students learn through experience to achieve academic success. Supported by a caring community on our beautiful West Seattle campus, we teach each individual (preschool-8th grade) with the goal of fostering confident lifelong learners who are engaged and good citizens.
Learning Through Playful Exploration
Westside School welcomes three and four-year-old students for a full-day preschool and pre-Kindergarten experience. Our emergent curriculum is play-based, focused on experiential learning and is designed to foster the social-emotional foundations for academic learning.Creating Joyful Learners
The world of Lower School at Westside School is one of questions and journeys, independence and collaboration, where our teachers celebrate each child's special talents.Students Who Are Seen And Known
Our supportive middle school environment nurtures self-esteem while challenging students to understand themselves as individuals with distinct learning styles.At Westside School, every child crafts their own story-one that unfolds naturally from their personality, experiences and gifts. Because here, we teach to the whole child-to all the things that make each student uniquely themselves- and support them to explore, stretch, and grow.
