Employer Description
 
Founded in 1994, Puget Sound Community School (PSCS) is a small, private, middle and
high school located in the Chinatown-International District of Seattle (C-ID). PSCS is
committed to centering intentionally excluded perspectives in curriculum and
programming. With Critical Race Theory, intersectionality, and collaboration framing our
approach, community-centered education also prioritizes the lived experience of our
global majority students and staff, while offering young people opportunities to take
increasing responsibility for your own education.

The approaches used at PSCS foster creativity, flexibility, and compassion, while
encouraging students and staff to focus deeper on those activities and classes that bring
them joy and purpose. To do this, PSCS offers one-on-one Advising relationships and
responsive curricula built around student interest, growth, and need. Additional
community expectations are designed to scaffold growth in understanding social and
restorative processes, and personal, contextual, and responsible identity.

Diversity Mission Statement
 

At PSCS, we define diversity to include race and ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender, gender identification, sexual orientation, different physical and cognitive abilities, and religion. We recognize that there may be other areas in need of attention that we have not identified here, or that will emerge with time. PSCS has an open admissions and hiring  policy that reflects our aim to respect individuality and learn from each other. We admit students of any racial, national, religious, or ethnic origin, from all backgrounds, belief systems, family dynamics, and orientations. In short, we recognize and invite the participation of all people, not discriminating on any basis in the administration of our programs.
