Seattle Jewish Community School

The Seattle Jewish Community School (SJCS) welcomes students and families to an inclusive educational community in the heart of Green Lake, inspired by Jewish values and intellectual traditions.

We cherish the pluralism of our community, celebrating our families' differences and identities in all forms they take, and sustaining a positive environment of equity, inclusion, and belonging.

Our philosophy combines the timeless wisdom of Jewish intellectual heritage with contemporary insights into children's learning and growth, promoting excellence while nurturing children's curiosity, confidence, and kindness. SJCS provides a context where children recognize that they belong and feel safe.

We celebrate the joys of learning and community while preparing students to influence their world for the good. We seek to make a positive difference in our community and beyond, championing social justice and the dignity of difference.

Graduates engage with the responsibilities and opportunities before them, guided by formative learning opportunities and secure in their identities.
