We have loved this place…read more We've been with U Co-op for the last two years, with almost a year and a half of that during the pandemic. I can't express how incredible the school has been. The most extraordinarily compassionate teachers and staff, and a parent community that has been supportive, resourceful, kind and caring. There is a warmth to the building (which we are thankfully back in - and masked) that we fell in love with from the first tour. It didn't feel cold or modern; it felt like creativity and childhood. There are nooks for reading, spaces for found art, paintings up everywhere. The teachers allow the children to follow their curiosity and even adjust the lessons to be relevant to the things that interest them. The kids are learning just as much as peers at other schools, but in a way that focuses on their self development and self esteem. This school has been a great find and has helped carry us through this difficult stretch.

They share the most beautiful pictures of his day, and I'm in awe of how much they can fit in between 9 am and 1 pm. A typical day can include an art project (my son recently made planets out of papier mache), a food project (today was sushi rolls), time romping around Ravenna Park, circle time for songs and sign language, and story time during lunch. They even take the bus and light rail to visit different parts of the city. Christi and Susanne exude this amazing calm, loving, fully present energy with the kids, always observing and affirming their budding strengths. I honestly can't imagine a better preschool experience for little ones! There is the extended day option as well, which goes until 5, I think.

We have a 2nd and 5th grader at the Meridian School and could not be more impressed with the…read moreleadership, faculty and community at the school. The assistant head of school and interim head of school are very accessible, responsive and communicate effectively with staff, faculty and families. The board of trustees has a strong vision for the school rooted in its mission. We really appreciate the integrated curriculum featuring multiple specialist classes: music, health and fitness, creativity lab, science, library, Spanish, art. In the creativity lab, our children routinely have projects incorporating engineering, design, critical thinking, problem solving, coding, animation and robotics. Teachers regularly collaborate on project based-learning opportunities. The experiential learning takes the learning beyond the classroom. My daughter's grade has five field trips planned this year. Overnight grade-level trips begin in 3rd grade and by the time students graduate they have participated in a total of 5 overnight grade-level field trips around the Pacific Northwest. The trip to Mountain School at the North Cascades Institute was my son's favorite. All of these are included in tuition and covered by financial aid plans. The k-2 and 3-5 learning specialists are very dedicated. My 2nd grader has benefitted from extra academic support in the classroom. My 5th grader has received additional enrichment in math and language arts since he has surpassed grade-level benchmarks. The admissions director provides individual support to families as they embark on process of applying to independent middle schools in 5th grade. We found the community to be warm, welcoming and very engaged. Our family has made many lifelong friendships through the school.

It was a scary jump to go from our neighborhood school, to a private school. We soon came to realize that this community was very similar to our public school in that families were kind, grounded and welcoming. Moreover, the faculty had the ratios and resources required to give individual attention to our children and support their educational needs. We now have two graduates who have stayed on the independent school path and both made it into the middle school of their school of choice. The education that they received at Meridian certainly set them up for this success!

I attended SCDS from kindergarten to 5th grade. The facilities are pretty nice, with the middle…read moreschool and gym both being built within the last 10 years, and the rest of the buildings had been remodeled and taken care of regularly when I attended it. Most of the teachers there seemed to care about the kids, and tried their hardest. Special shoutout to the 4-5 science teacher, Doc O, who was my favorite teacher I have ever been lucky enough to have. Despite us only being in 4th and 5th grade, she always treated us like we were older. Her class taught me so much of what I know today. However, I didn't love all the teachers. I didn't really learn that much Spanish in their Spanish program. Plus, the administration there never seemed to get anything done. For example, I knew someone who was getting bullied. When I brought it up to the counselor, there was no punishment for the kid. Really? SCDS isn't strict enough. The school environment felt very elitist. Because the tuition is so high, the school is predominantly middle-upper class white kids. The school also only accept kids in the 97% percentile or better in IQ tests. White, smart rich kids. To be fair, almost all of the kids that I met there were really nice. Just the whole environment always felt a little snobby. Finally, coming out of SCDS, I felt like I jumped into a pool of cold water when I went into public school. The difference is night and day. If you are at SCDS right now, then I'm warning you if you are going into public schools any time during your life: it's totally different. In all, I liked this school. Maybe it wasn't a perfect fit for me, but I liked it. However, I didn't pay for it. If I was a parent, I'd send my kid to public school and save my 30k per year. Cheers!

No school is perfect, and SCDS is no exception, but I love the feel of it, the kids, the teachers,…read morethe playground, the parents. A lot of bright kids, and equally bright teachers. A warm sense of community and a surprisingly down-to-earth group of families.
