Kingston Elementary School Competitors

The mission of Lakeside School is to develop in intellectually capable young people the creative minds, healthy bodies, and ethical spirits needed to contribute wisdom, compassion, and leadership to a global society. We provide a rigorous and dynamic academic program through which effective educators lead students to take responsibility for learning. We are committed to sustaining a school in which individuals representing diverse cultures and experiences instruct one another in the meaning and value of community and in the joy and importance of lifelong learning.

Located just north of Seattle in Shoreline, Washington, The Evergreen School has been educating highly capable, creative learners for over 60 years. From preschool through 8th grade, our students are encouraged to ask questions, and our teachers use that natural curiosity to craft engaging lessons and spark thought-provoking conversations. Evergreen’s program infuses challenging academics with foundational support for social skills, emotional well-being, a multicultural perspective, and empathy for others. Our students think deeply, take intellectual risks, and tackle complex problems. They learn how to self-advocate, collaborate with others, and understand and respect differences. Evergreen graduates move on to high school and beyond with confidence, ready to contribute to a diverse and dynamic world.

Since 1986, The Westwood School has provided an outstanding Montessori environment beginning at the Toddler level, building on the Chinese proverb, “What I hear I forget; what I see I remember; what I do I know.” Westwood blends this highly regarded method with the International Baccalaureate Programme (IB), an ideal overlay to the foundation laid by the Montessori Method. IB World Schools (more than 3,500 in over 140 countries) share a common philosophy-a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education that The Westwood School believes is important for our students. Since 2004, Westwood has been an authorized IB World School. We welcome students and families who share a joy of learning and believe that education should be a journey, not a race. The Westwood School is a close-knit and caring community. Our students acquire the skills and values necessary to think critically and act responsibly within a student-centered curriculum with academic rigor and international mindedness. At The Westwood School, we know you have many choices when it comes to the education of your child.
