Welcome from the Head of School
Thank you for your interest in Seattle Girls' School (SGS).
SGS is a 5th through 8th grade middle school committed to empowering young women to be leaders in their communities through a challenging academic program focused on collaboration, integration, and real-world problem solving.
Since our founding, Seattle Girls' School has played a unique role in the Seattle community, working to ensure that young women have an opportunity for an exceptional education. SGS students come from all walks of life--over 40% are girls of color and 20% identify themselves as multi-racial. Further, we demonstrate a steadfast commitment to socio-economic diversity by ensuring that a minimum of 30% of students receive need-based financial aid. SGS has awarded over $4.5 million dollars in aid since our inception.
SGS is committed to teaching the whole child--preparing our students for the world at large, with a focus on leadership skills, democratic decision-making, anti-bias work, team building, and artistic and physical expression. With a curriculum grounded in project-based work, students are exposed to a wide variety of challenging learning experiences.
I invite you to follow my blog and learn more about SGS.
Thank you again for your interest in SGS!
