Our experience with SnoSprings School has been absolutely wonderful. What we love most about the school is how child-centered the entire staff is. From the moment we drive in each morning, the warmth and kindness is palpable. The teachers and staff greet the kids with smiles and hugs, creating a welcoming and loving environment that makes our daughter feel cherished and secure.The genuine care and affection the educators have for their students set this school apart. It's clear that they are deeply invested in each child's well-being and success. This nurturing atmosphere not only makes our daughter excited to go to school every day but also helps her thrive both emotionally and academically.Academically, SnoSprings strikes a perfect balance. The curriculum is robust and challenging, pushing the kids to reach their full potential without overwhelming them. The teachers are incredibly skilled at understanding each student's unique abilities and tailoring their approach to ensure that everyone is appropriately challenged and supported. Communication between the school and parents is excellent - Mrs. Scott (the principal) is on top of it, always. The teachers are always approachable and understanding, keeping us informed about our daughter's progress and any areas where she might need extra support. This open line of communication gives us peace of mind and makes us feel like true partners in our child's education.Overall, SnoSprings is a gem. The child-centered approach, combined with strong academics and exceptional extracurriculars, makes it a wonderful place for our daughter to learn and grow. We couldn't be happier with our choice and highly recommend this school to any family looking for a nurturing and academically enriching environment for their child.

My kids have a good time in SSS. All the teachers we know are very nice and patient. The principle is very professional and excellent. They build up kids habits step by step, not only for academics but also for life. The SSS is a community friendly school. We like it!

SnoSpring is a remarkable school that is second to none in the Issaquah area. The teachers are incredibly caring and responsible, and the principal and teachers greet the children at the door every morning, infusing their day with goodwill and enthusiasm. The school is bustling with activities, offering two trips per year and numerous projects with external organizations. I've participated in many volunteer activities, which truly enhance the children's eagerness to learn and their practical skills. Starting from PreK, the curriculum is progressively structured. Even for non-native English speakers, learning is swift. The classroom encompasses a broad spectrum of knowledge with excellent materials, ensuring daily new learning. The school also excels in social and emotional learning, presenting various social scenarios to teach children how to make optimal choices in different contexts. My child is overjoyed every day at SnoSpring, loving their teachers and friends.

My two kids have been in SSS for 6 years in total. Nothing to complain about. The school not only taught kids tons of academic knowledge, but also cultivated good learning habits. My kids started liking reading from K when the school assigned them one AR book a week. Every teacher and staff member in this school are kind and patient to the students. My kids love this school and their teachers. I hope this school can extend to higher grades in the future.

Snoqualmie Springs school has been an amazing experience for our daughter. This is our 4th year at the school and have been exceedingly happy with the quality of education, the attentiveness of the staff and the responsiveness of the administration. We were looking for a school that offered three main things. 1) A curriculum that could be individualized based on her needs. One that would allow our daughter to be challenged and engaged academically. As a result, our daughter is doing extremely well in all her subjects (reading at a grade 7 level while she is still in 2nd grade) and still loves going to school everyday. 2) A safe and nurturing environment that taught kindness, compassion and how to be a good citizen. The school is involved in several community outreach projects each year. 3) A school that welcomed parent involvement and input. There are a lot of volunteer opportunities for those who are interested. The intimate size of the school really allows for a safe, nurturing and welcoming environment. We are very happy with the school and really recommend it.
