This afternoon, we welcome Westside School as a new WSB sponsor – as they get ready to show off their new West Seattle home with an open house this Sunday, 1-3 pm. New sponsors get the chance to share information they’d like you to know, so here’s their message: Westside School’s mission says it best … Westside School prepares students for the world by challenging them to achieve academic success and by connecting their human spirit and imagination to learning. Established in 1981, Westside School is West Seattle’s only elementary school accredited by the prestigious Pacific Northwest Association of Independent Schools. With classes in preschool through fifth grade, Westside School is a community of educators who care about the development of your child. Working in partnership with families, Westside helps each student fulfill his or her potential as an independent learner, developing self-discipline and responsibility while preserving natural curiosity, imagination, and joy. At Westside School, children experience small class size, an integrated and rigorous curriculum, and engaging, creative teachers. Enrichment classes like Chinese, Spanish, art, and music challenge students to embrace new cultures. Students in all areas of study find learning imaginative, joyful and fun. A Westside School education will not only give your child well-rounded instruction and an incredible sense of confidence, but you will also join an amazing community of parents and staff who care about you and your child. Please visit Westside School’s website at westsideschool.org for more information. The school is located at 7740 34th Avenue SW (map). They can be reached by phone at (206) 932-2511.

Again, Westside School has an open house this Sunday (September 19), 1-3 pm. We thank Westside for sponsoring independent, community-collaborative neighborhood news on WSB; find our sponsor team, and info on joining, all here.
