Bertschi School
Educating children to become compassionate, creative, and confident learners since 1975.
Our curriculum integrates comprehensive core academics with art, technology, science, dance, music, and drama. We believe social-emotional learning is as important as academics, and we instill a a respect for the environment and community in our students. Our urban campus is at the center of our commitment to sustainability, with a LEED Gold-certified building and the first certified “Living Building” in Washington State.

Oh what a night! Our students shone brightly at Spring Arts Showcase, with their inspiring and confident musical performances, incredible art gallery, and some very cool style! 😎
Morning circles are a big part of building community and checking in with each other every day. This grade 1 classroom wrote down what they did over the weekend, and gave their classmates a greeting + “bubble” high fives to start the day!
