Living Wisdom School moves to Cedarbrook building

Living Wisdom students on their new school grounds

The Living Wisdom School of Seattle, which offers a holistic approach to education for students from preschool to sixth grade, has recently expanded and moved to a new location at 2000 NE Perkins Way in Shoreline.

The Shoreline location, site of the old Cedarbrook School, offers expansive classrooms, soccer fields, and nature trails.  The larger building will allow the school to accept students up to eighth grade. 

Teacher Chandi Holliman is particularly excited the way the new school will allow children to explore the natural world outside the classroom.  “Joseph Cornell’s book, Sharing Nature With Children is already an important part of our curriculum.  Now we’ll be able to expand the nature and science part of our curriculum even further,” Holliman said.  She added that the school plans to create playgrounds and a permaculture organic garden with an orchard overlooking the east end of the property.

Living Wisdom School is a private nonprofit school based on the Education For Life system, which emphasizes experiential learning, spiritual support, and practical skills for living such as concentration, self-discipline, compassion, and spiritual enrichment, alongside the traditional academic curriculum. The school is eager to become a vital part of its new Shoreline community, and invites neighbors to visit the new campus.
