Westside School is a preschool to 8th grade independent school located in the beautiful Arbor Heights neighborhood of West Seattle.

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.

Our Mission: Westside students learn to think critically and act with compassion in a joyful, supportive community.

Westside is committed to Diversity:

Westside School is committed to promoting inclusiveness, diversity, and cultural competence in its education, employment practices, school community, and governance. It views inclusiveness as a fundamental value, diversity as a key element, and cultural competence as a vital skill necessary to prepare students to participate in and contribute to a global society. Westside uses the term diversity broadly to encompass differences in the attributes of individuals, families, and communities.
