Press Release:
Westside School is honored to be one of 10 area schools to be selected to host two teachers from the Republic of Korea. This is Westside's second year hosting educators from Korea.

The Korean educators began their two week visit on January 18th. The teachers have been selected for their excellence in teaching and are currently working with the A.C.E. Language Institute at Seattle Pacific University.

They are very interested in how Westside School uses strategies such as Project Based Learning, Investigations, and Integrated Lessons to teach the children. The Korean teachers will be observing all classes and they will have the opportunity to present lessons on Korean culture to the students.

"This is an exceptional opportunity for our community to learn about life in Korea as well as for our guests to experience the "Westside Way", remarked David Bergler, Westside School's Director of Admission. He continued, "It is our hope that this experience will cultivate long-lasting cross cultural understanding and the building of a relationship between our school and those of our guests. We believe that through this experience our students will learn about another culture and spark interest in becoming globally-minded citizens and future world travelers".
