About Soundview School

Soundview School is a small, independent, fully authorized International Baccalaureate World School in Lynnwood, Washington, serving children in preschool through Grade 8. At Soundview, we are dedicated to nurturing curious students to become the compassionate and ethical leaders of tomorrow. It's not just about what you know; it's about how you use your knowledge to make the world a better place. Our mission is to ignite a passion for learning through inquiry-based education, integrated projects, and meaningful assessments in academics, the arts, service, and self-expression. We foster international-mindedness, creativity, and a love for knowledge within a diverse and supportive community. By embracing reflection, caring, respect, and trust, we aim to build strong connections within our school and the larger community.

Student Highlights

“Soundview has helped me to become a positive citizen and leader by giving me tasks relating to the real work in which I’d have to apply both my knowledge and personal understanding. I was introduced to open mindedness, key values, a supportive community, and access to amazing resources and people to talk to. Never in my life have I been to a school that’s encouraged the things that Soundview has, and I’m extremely grateful for the values and ideals I have been taught along the way. I have learned about the importance of reflection, how I can reflect on things and move forward with that knowledge to apply to the next problem (building of wisdom), the importance of being a team player (building of collaboration skills and teamwork), and so much more.”
