Seattle Jewish Community School (SJCS) is a place where curiosity, confidence, and kindness grow!

We are proud to offer a K–5 educational journey that inspires students to engage deeply with the world around them while immersed in the rich traditions of Jewish intellectual heritage. Located in Seattle’s vibrant Green Lake neighborhood, our school is inspired by the natural beauty that surrounds us and by our community’s commitment to sustainability and social justice.

 

As you begin to explore our school, imagine your child thriving in an inclusive, supportive environment where a love of learning is nurtured every day. At SJCS, we believe in fostering each child's individual strengths while guiding them to develop intellectually, emotionally, and socially. 

 

One of the hallmarks of SJCS is our strong sense of community. Families, educators, and students come together to create a warm and welcoming environment where everyone belongs. Whether it’s through cross-grade buddy programs, community service projects, or shared celebrations of Jewish traditions, our students build lifelong, mutually supportive connections.

 

Our approach to education combines timeless Jewish wisdom and values with contemporary insights into how children learn and grow best. We value the process of inquiry, encouraging students to ask questions, explore new ideas, and appreciate the diverse perspectives that shape our world. Our students are not only academically prepared but also equipped with empathy, resilience, and a commitment to making a positive difference.

 

As you consider the next steps in your child’s educational journey, we encourage you to experience the SJCS community firsthand. We offer campus tours, an open house, and meetings with our admissions team. We are also proud to offer financial aid options, including the Samis Foundation’s Day School Affordability Initiative, to ensure that SJCS is accessible to all families.
