"PSCS helps develop capable, committed, compassionate young people from the inside out." –PSCS Parent
Puget Sound Community School was founded upon the belief that people are compelled to learn intrinsically and will eagerly learn what they are interested in learning when provided a positive environment and support in their self-selected pursuits. We aim to nourish healthy human development and believe this can only take place in the context of a healthy, safe, nurturing, and respectful community. So, at PSCS, there is respect for all aspects of a person’s life -- emotional, social, intellectual, interpersonal, moral, spiritual, artistic, and physical -- in a collaborative and encouraging community of staff, students, parents, and volunteers.
A PSCS education is based on trust and the conviction that people of all ages have a right to self-determination. As such, students have the freedom to determine their own schedule and choices. We provide a curriculum in which equal status is given to all pursuits. Simply stated, we believe the best education ensures the freedom of people of all ages to think for themselves and to control their own destinies, structuring their time and activities as they best see fit.
Several members of the PSCS teaching staff have completed the Schools Attuned training developed by Dr. Mel Levine's All Kinds Of Minds institute.
