The Center School is one of the most unique learning communities I have ever had the privilege to be a part of. We have a dedicated creative staff that goes above and beyond the call of duty to provide a rich relevant academic and social experience for all students, a vibrant curious student population that bring their gifts and talents to our school and a dedicated supportive parent community that provides the volunteerism and funds to carry out our mission.

The Center School mission is "to empower and inspire all students to positively impact our world." We want every graduate of the Center School to find their own passions and strengths and then develop the skills necessary to make a difference! We believe that by integrating the arts, we provide an educational experience that will allow students to do just that! Our partnerships with the very diverse arts community in Seattle enriches our program and we are continually looking for ways to expand those connections.

We are a college-prep school and our graduation requirements are more than other high schools in our district. Every graduate of The Center School is ready academically to apply to a four year university. Not all students want to but the door is open if they chose to follow that path. We have three AP course offerings in Art, Biology and Literature. Our Humanities program is unique and not only produces excellent readers and writers but also emphasizes social justice. We want our students to be informed and involved. Our science curriculum was developed by our own teachers and is an integrated, interactive program that provides a strong foundation for our students in the sciences. Our WASL test scores continue to be the highest in the district, and might I say, the state! Our art strands currently are Visual Arts, Drama, Film and Literary Arts. We are looking forward to expanding our art offerings.
