Is Westside a private school?
Westside is an Independent school, which means that it is independently governed by a board of trustees and not just the Head of School, the State of Washington or the City of Seattle. This means that the Head of School is held accountable to a group of people who’s main responsibility is to ensure the long-term viability of Westside School. That being said, this independence also allows Westside the opportunity to define its own mission and the freedom to design a quality curriculum which best meets its mission.
