Houses Westside
School is an independent elementary school that values high-academic
standards and challenges students on an individual basis. Class sizes are
small, and teachers work with students to identify each child’s strengths
and weaknesses. Children enjoy coming to school, and they learn to
cooperate and work together in groups. Westside provides an intellectual,
caring environment, where students are safe to make mistakes, to learn and
to play. Westside
starts its admission season for the 2006-2007 school year in
November. Open
House for Pre-School and Pre-K is December 10, and for all grade levels on
January 28.
For
tour and open house information, please visit www.westsideschool.org or call
206.932.2511. Some spaces are still available for the current school year.
If you are interested in learning more, please

West Seattle schools will be Saturday, January 21, 2006 from 9:00

Talk to school representatives and enrollment specialists. Attend a presentation and get your
questions answered. For new students, bring your child's registration
