University Cooperative School is an independent elementary school in NE Seattle where childhood is a journey. We empower Pre-K – 5th-grade students through a vigorous curriculum that is inquiry-based, nature-enhanced, arts-infused, and heart-centered.
Our students are encouraged to take educational risks and challenged to forge their own paths, instilling confidence and compassion. We go beyond helping children excel academically; we prepare them to soar through life’s many adventures.
