E-Mail Marja BrandonFor 20 years, Marja Brandon has dedicated herself to teaching and working with young people and their families. Having graduated from Wellesley College, and then Harvard University Graduate School of Education, Marja has spent twenty years as a teacher, administrator, and consultant at other independent schools. Marja has developed an energetic, engaging style that puts an emphasis on respecting students and valuing the powerful connection between student-centered learning, high expectations, and self-esteem.
In 2000, Marja moved herself and her family to Seattle to pursue her “dream job”, helping to found the Seattle Girls’ School. Her dedication to middle school students, anti-bias work, and her commitment to making connection between neuroscience and the classroom in authentic ways have helped create the school now on the corner of Jackson and Martin Luther King Way. Her goals to help teachers and schools nationwide may someday be realized through work that SGS is beginning.
As a Quaker, Marja has been guided by educational principals that highly value social justice and diversity. Both in her career and in her personal life with her multiracial family, Marja is invested deeply in education that will improve our world one person at a time.
"Our goal is to bring out the best in girls; it's already there, we teach them how to remove the obstacles to seeing it, believing it, and using it."
-- Marja Brandon, Head of School
