Community School of West Seattle

The mission of the Community School of West Seattle (CSWS) is to create a space in which our children, teachers and families can be part of a cooperative educational team. Collaboratively, we work to inspire and support curiosity, confidence, empathy, resiliency, and the social emotional well-being of every child. Our curriculum is based upon the principles of respect, responsibility, and community through play, exploration, and discovery. We are committed to building and maintaining a responsive environment that is dedicated to inclusivity, equity and strong relationships.
