- LWGMS is a grassroots response to a community-identified need and has proven to be a school that is exciting to students, teachers and parents. The girls engage in an academically rigorous curriculum, including extensive research and writing, regular debates and oral presentations, individualized math instruction, and real-world, experiential science. The girls produce and perform in all-school plays at professional theaters in Seattle. Each year, the girls participate in the Rainier Valley Youth Theatre's Young Playwrights program, work with the Austin Foundation, study with Martial Arts in the Public Interest, and work with Artscorps instructors. Seventh graders research rites of passage ceremonies in many cultures and design their own Rites of Passage experience. They create service projects that are related to their curriculum. Lake Washington Girls Middle School students take responsibility for their learning and for their environment, through having a voice in curriculum and board meetings and cleaning and improving their school building.
