Swan School - Creative Independent Education
At Swan School we value children as individuals
and believe in developing the creative, intellectual, emotional,
social, and physical well-being of each child through our core values.
We are located in a quiet residential neighborhood in Port Townsend, Washington, on school-owned grounds that include four classrooms, a kitchen and activity room, an ever-growing library and a large grassy and wooded playground.
Since its inception in 1983, our student-centered school has relied upon the commitment, creativity, and energy of our well-trained professional faculty, and the Swan School parents. Parents offer their wide-ranging talents and considerable enthusiasm in the classrooms, on our frequent field trips, and in our social and fundraising activities. Parent-volunteers serve on our governing Board of Directors, and monthly parent meetings allow parents, teachers, aides, and Board members, to share information, discuss ideas and concerns, and plan activities.
Our Educational Philosophy is available here.
