Westside School is a vibrant and forward-thinking independent school rooted in a deep commitment to progressive education, whole child development, and a strong sense of community. Since its founding, Westside has cultivated a warm, inclusive environment where students are known, valued, and inspired to grow intellectually, socially, and emotionally.
The school brings together a diverse community of learners and families who are drawn to its child-centered philosophy, its emphasis on experiential learning, and its belief in the power of curiosity, creativity, and collaboration.
Located in the North Arbor Heights neighborhood of West Seattle, Westside’s campus reflects the school’s dynamic spirit - thoughtfully designed learning spaces, access to natural surroundings, and a culture that encourages exploration both inside and outside the classroom.
The program integrates academic rigor with social-emotional learning, fostering confident, capable students who are prepared to engage thoughtfully with an ever-changing world. Through close relationships, innovative teaching, and a commitment to equity and belonging, Westside empowers students to develop a strong sense of self and a responsibility to their communities.
