John Stanford International Elementary School Reviews

Outstanding education team - highly communicative - direct and competent. This is a caring community of professionals who put children and their learning first. Love this school

JSIS is a language immersion school that offers either Spanish or Japanese Immersion. Students complete 5th grade being fairly fluent in their chosen language. They have an international outlook on the world and are accepting of all cultures. It is an amazing place to be!

I am a parent of two at JSIS. Although the language immersion program is positive, I am not sure it is such a great idea anymore. I think I am going to look for a more back to basics elementary. There is something lacking in the focus here.

This is our sixth year with JSIS, all in the Spanish immersion program. Our students were the 'guinea pigs' for a new program, which I am happy to say has finally seemed to have worked out the kinks. With a newly revitalized music program and other programs designed to encouragement community involvement and worldwide awareness, JSIS has grown into one of the finest schools in Seattle, public or otherwise. Parent involvement is fairly high, and the school has done much to build a community among the students. Teachers and other staff are becoming more comfortable with technology (such as communicating via email), and this makes things easier.
