Jane Addams Middle School
Jane Addams Middle School, which is often referred to as JAMS, was reopened in 2014 as a comprehensive neighborhood middle school serving sixth, seventh, and eighth graders. The building has an interesting history starting with it opening as a junior high school in the Shoreline School District in 1949. It was annexed into Seattle Public Schools in 1954, and eventually became a middle school in 1979, when ninth graders were moved to high school. In 1985 it closed due to declining enrollment, and over the years saw a variety of uses, including some alternative education concepts, until reopening in its current iteration today. JAMS has an enrollment of about 950 students and is home to the Jaguars.

Nathan Hale High School
Nathan Hale High School was originally built in the 1960s and completely remodeled between 2005 and 2011. This renovation brought an entirely new library and performance hall to the school, as well as an artificial turf field and full-size running track. The redesign of the school won an American Institute of Architects National Award in 2014, and it was named by Business Insiders Magazine as one of the 12 most beautiful schools in the US that same year. Local radio station KNHC, or C89.5 as it is more commonly known as, has been located at the school since 1969, and is operated by professionals who also teach students practical skills in a unique media course. C89.5 also holds the distinction as the world’s oldest continually operated dance music station, and is completely owned by Seattle Public Schools. Nathan Hale High School serves ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth graders, has an enrollment of approximately 1200 students and is home to the Raiders.

Founded in 1980, Seattle Waldorf School offers an enriching Waldorf education to children from 18 months up to grade 8. Located on two campuses, all within easy reach of urban forests and waterways, we support students on a joyful journey that cultivates imagination, healthy social and emotional development, reverence for the natural world, and a deep love of learning. At Seattle Waldorf School we invite students to view each subject through multiple lenses: language, history, artistic expression, and scientific observation, and then apply the kind of creative thinking and problem-solving that make Waldorf graduates shine in high school and beyond.

Willow Creek Children’s House
Willow Creek Children’s House is the newest of our programs and recently opened in September 2022. We are excited to offer the community a Montessori learning environment designed to meet the needs of Infant, Toddler, and Preschool age children. Children are encouraged to explore a wide variety of age-appropriate, hands-on activities, all at their own pace.
Our philosophy is based on Maria Montessori’s principles for early care and education. We believe that children grow and learn best in a warm, nurturing, well-organized environment. Our teachers are sensitive and respectful to each child’s individuality. We welcome a multicultural community of families and are committed to supporting this diversity in all areas of our early childhood program.
We are a member of the American Montessori Society and will soon begin our participation with Washington State’s Early Achievers program.
