Welcome to Giddens School!

"The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education."
-Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

In 1972, Huda Giddens envisioned a truly diverse school community devoted to innovative and developmentally-appropriate education.

37 years later, Giddens School remains dedicated to teaching an academically excellent, developmentally appropriate curriculum that stretches critical thinking and encourages social responsibility.

Giddens offers preschool through 5th grade children an education grounded in the belief that critical thinking and social responsibility form the basis of an academically excellent curriculum. Giddens School is one of the most ethnically, economically, and socially diverse independent schools in the Northwest.

Approximately 30% - 40% of families receive tuition assistance and more than 40% of our students are children of color. This means that students learn about diversity in a truly diverse environment which provides vital, tangible opportunities to learn with and about each other.

Students graduate as curious, socially responsive, creative young people who are well-prepared for a lifetime of learning.
