We never thought that we could love a school so much until we saw our kindergartener’s eyes widen and a huge smile break across her face as the amazing music teacher led the entire school in singing and howling to "Oh, I Want to Be a Dog" at Monday Morning Sing. We thought, “What a gift.” When I drop our daughter off in the morning, she runs into the school excited about her day. When she comes through the doors in the afternoon, she can’t wait to tell me about how much fun she had and how much she learned in class and during her adventures on the playground at recess where everyone is included. We love that the teachers are free to develop curriculum based upon their wisdom, their unique experiences and what they know is best for the children. Their dedication to inspire joy, curiosity and a lifelong love of learning in a warm community that cares about kindness is what makes us passionate supporters of The Island School. The Island School is a special place. We are thrilled that our daughter is fortunate do be able to spend her school days of childhood at a place where she is seen, heard and celebrated and encouraged to be an inquisitive, kind, caring and contributing person in this world.

An alum of the school, many of my core beliefs were seeded and nurtured by The Island School and its teachers. Through their own passions, and by example The Island School staff engender the social/emotional skills that have become fundamental to the school's curriculum and a keystone of my own life. Due in large part to The Island School community I believe that I am a capable, creative, and kind human!

We moved to Bainbridge Island so my son could begin kindergarten. We were all ready to begin at the Waldorf school, but in the end wanted a school where I could volunteer in the classroom. So, through our efforts to find the perfect fit, we discovered The Island School. My son is now in second grade. I could go on and on about the million reasons why I love this school, but none compare to the fact that my son loves to go to school every morning. The Island School provides him with such a strong sense of community. For example, the expectation that there is NO excluding during recess games, makes such a profound impact. The teachers are there on the playground, and they are involved. Children are held accountable for their actions. In the day and age of bullying, one can easily understand the depth of this. This is an outstanding school! The art, the Cultural Study, the library, the playground, the woods, the music, Monday morning sing, Trish, Loretta, and the list goes on and on. Boy do we consider ourselves lucky. The coffee is pretty good too:)

My son is currently in 4th grade at The Island School and I'm convinced his experience there is a gift that will keep on giving for his lifetime. The leadership and staff are extraordinary. The environment is light-filled, warm, and comfortable. And, his interest in learning is boundless. The Island School's commitment to engage the mind and heart of every child in a culture that values excellent education, joy in learning, and respect and appreciation for others, shines through in every classroom, play space, office, hallway, and corner of the school. If you are looking for a K-5th independent school, I highly recommend a visit to The Island School.
