In the fall of 2020, my wife and I enrolled our 5yo son into Concordia's "Giraffe Class" Pre-School…read moreand were impressed with how well the academic staff fostered his growth in a healthy, positive environment. Ms. Pam, his teacher, immediately assuaged his fears around starting at new school and within a few days he was already looking forward to attending class. The administration is collaborative, the parents are a community, and the teachers are experienced and wonderful. We look forward to having our daughter start her journey at Concordia this fall!

We have had a fantastic experience with Concordia. The preschool program has teachers that are…read morekind, caring and experienced. It was the perfect balance of play and learning. Our kiddos made friends, came home with neat craft projects, funny stories, silly songs and dances. They were happily tired out and it was wonderful. Covid-wise, their policies were kid-appropriate, safe and well-considered. With such a good experience in the preschool, we continued onto their K-8 program and are so pleased. The classes are small enough to have 12:1 student:teacher ratio and I LOVE it. It's such a better fit than what we saw in SPS. The 1st - 8th grade classes are combined (1st and 2nd grade together, 3rd and 4th together, etc.) and it facilitates each student learning at their appropriate level. The school went through the accreditation process this year and scored very high. It's such a relief and pleasure to know our children are learning in a tailored environment, with diverse classrooms and a welcoming, kind community.

Well, after my family attending SCCP for 4 years total, it's safe to say we loved the school. Our…read moredaughter and son both went here and are now doing well in elementary school. SCCP is located inside of a church, but they are not affiliated with that church or any church--this can be a hard thing to find. The location can sometimes be off putting but give it a chance! We loved the play based atmosphere, the field trips, and especially the special family events.

Throughout my two years of studying at the University of Washington, this place has been an…read moreintegral part of my commute and studies. What I love about it are the amenities they offer. Last year, they had multiple microwaves, but this year, they've reduced it to about three. However, they still have microwaves, and there are couches within a few inches of anywhere in the facility. They also have Wi-Fi, a printer, and special events like games, board games, and trivia. There's a refrigerator sink for washing dishes and a place to relax and catch a nap before continuing your studies. The commuters and transfer comments section of the university building holds a special place in my heart. If you're commuting in and around the Seattle area, you should definitely check it out. It has everything you need, including lockers, chargers for cell phones, laptops, and computers. Just check in with staff members, and they'll have anything you need. Don't forget to have your Husky card, as you'll need to tap in to enter and tap in at the staff desk. You'll have to tap in every time you enter the facility, but other than that, it's an amazing place to relax with someone who doesn't live in Seattle.

I know that this review is pretty long. Just consider the list of alumni as extra credit reading…read more FHS is currently the oldest high school amongst the twelve high schools in the Seattle School District. FHS first opened its doors in 1912 in Seattle's Mt. Baker neighborhood and it was designed in the Neoclassical/Greek Revival style by Seattle School District architect, Edgar Blair. The school was once deemed the most beautiful high school west of the Mississippi and featured at the Chicago World's Fair in 1933. The other basics: Mascot: Quakers Annual: Tolo* Colors: Green and Black Newspaper: Tolo * = Tolo is a Native American (Kalapuya) word that means: "to win, excel, gain, prevail, earn, control, convince, overcome, subdue, triumph, and succeed." Call me a freak, but I did enjoy my years in high school. I know that at times it was awkward, but I generally loved being an actively engaged student at Franklin. May it be the various clubs, athletics and the like; I definitely made the most of it. Oh, I did a lot of studying too! The school curriculum hasn't changed from I have seen. They still offer many honors, advance placement and humanities classes. I could go on about athletics at Franklin, but that would be a review in itself. Suffice to say, FHS has excelled in sports with numerous city and state championships. One thing I didn't know is that Franklin has the most players from western Washington to play in the NFL (8). FHS also feature a powerhouse Mock Trial team. One thing that I do remember about school was the diversity. FHS has always been one of the most racially and ethnically diverse schools in Washington. Former student, and Nobel Prize winner, George Hitchings ('23) said it best in his biography: "My experiences at Franklin High School in Seattle were notable for another reason. We had a most heterogeneous population, one that blended upper class and minorities including blacks, Filipinos, Japanese, Chinese and first generation Catanians. As a result I lost any self-consciousness I felt in dealing with people from different cultures and backgrounds." I didn't know what a Catanian was and had to look it up. Catania is a city in Sicily. That makes sense because Rainier Valley, where the school is located, was known as "Garlic Gulch." This concludes the formal part of this review. The rest is just extra credit. The following is just a small sample of distinguished Quaker alumni: Medicine: George Hitchings ('23) - Nobel Prize winner in Physiology or Medicine. Considered to be the pioneer in the biochemical approach to chemotherapy. Dr. William Hutchinson ('27) - Cancer research specialist and founder of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Business & Government: Gary Locke ('68) - Former King County Deputy Prosecutor, King County Executive and two-term governor of Washington. Alfred Moen ('34) - Inventor and founder of Moen Faucets. Everett W. Nordstrom ('19) - Took over his father's shoe company in 1928 with his two brothers and turned a local company into a national clothing retail empire. Nordstrom is the largest shoe retailer in the United States. The Nordstrom family is also responsible for bringing the NFL to Seattle and were the first owners of the Seahawks. Victor Steinbrueck ('28) - Architect. Designer of the Space Needle and saved the Pike Place Market from destruction. He was a force for preserving the architectural heritage of Seattle. Journalism: Royal Brougham ('12) - Sports writer and former editor of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Some of you may recognize his name because the street that runs between Qwest Field and Safeco Field is named after him. Emmet Watson ('37) - Columnist that worked for many of Seattle's newspapers that include the Seattle Star, P-I and Times. Noted author and champion of Lesser Seattle. Stephanie Stokes Oliver ('70) - Author, publisher, and former editor of Essence Magazine.
