Westside School's Vision Statement

Westside is committed to being a collaborative, inclusive school where learners discover their unique strengths, embrace challenges, and develop a passion for learning, in order to contribute positively to their world.

Why work at Westside?

Westside School fosters a vibrant culture of belonging, recognized by the Northwest Association of Independent Schools as a defining strength*. Rooted in joyful learning, meaningful relationships, and mutual respect, we inspire creativity, innovation, and community. Our expert educators thrive in an inclusive environment that values diverse perspectives, integrated curriculum, and project-based learning. Supported by beautiful, mission-driven facilities, we celebrate different backgrounds and prioritize inclusion. We welcome applicants from all cultures and communities to apply.

*NWAIS commends Westside School for its visible, consistent, coherent, and deeply appreciated sense of community culture, informed by the values of the school and infused with joyful learning. Strong culture was mentioned by every single constituency as the “secret sauce” that binds the school together. The culture is created, in great part, by the teachers and the program they provide. There is a high level of student engagement in the classes because the curriculum and pedagogy are interesting and relevant. Students feel known and seen. Teachers treat the administration, each other, and the students with respect. - From the most recent NWAIS Accreditation Report
