Research Kapka Cooperative Primary School private Schools in Seattle, Washington

“We worried about sending our little man to school. Hoenschooling was a failure for us based on time but we wanted a more whole approach to education than we found in public. Kakpa acheives this and he is bummed that summer is here We hear 'I want to go back to school...' everyday.”

“KapKa has been a wonderful experience for our daughter. She has become self-assured and is an attentive learner who frequently brings home topics to discuss at dinner. She thrives on all the activities that the school offers. We love the fact that there is a focus on being outdoors and understanding the natural world.”

“KapKa has been a wonderful school for my son. I am continually impressed with the teachers' skill at guiding the children to direct their own learning through meaningful projects. The multi-aged approach ensures that each child gets a chance to be a mentor and to be mentored, and I love to see boys and girls of varying ages playing together. This is an innovative, passionate school where you'll find a community of parents, teachers, and students who are committed to learning, the arts, and caring for our community and our environment. I honestly cannot say enough good things!”

“An engaging place for students & families learn and grow together.”

“Kapka offers a wonderful parent community, emergent curriculum, a new administrator and a cohesive team of 3 teachers. My 8 year old is a confident learner and a whole person who has developed some great social skills and much confidence in his academic abilities. If you are looking for a traditional classroom with worksheets, you'll find a little of that, but much of the work that happens is embedded in projects that the teachers and kids identify together. A recent owl project led to questions about flight (and a trip to the flight museum), research into Northwest owl species and lots of owl art. Music and art are integral as are community outreach (Thanksgiving meals to shut-ins and visits to a local reitrement home). What more could you ask for? I am certain my child will look back at this experience as one of his most formative and positive.”
