I am a student at Spring Street International School, and I can confirm there is no other school like it! The education presents a great curriculum, better than any other school Ive been to. The international program makes for a lovely group of people, who bring new experiences and cultures to the table. The AP program is phenomenal, it is challenging and presents a true college-level learning environment. The relationships with peers and teachers are built on a foundation that will last forever, both in class and in the outdoors. No matter why you are here, Spring Street offers opportunities you wont quite find anywhere else.
The boarding school at Spring Street has been absolutely wonderful for my son. He started as a day student and needed more support so we tried living on campus. It made a huge difference for him both academically and socially and I could not be more pleased with our experience.
I would appreciate if the school was a bit less college prep oriented but they are adapting to their student body and clientele. Even though there is a heavy focus on academics and too much homework (imo) they are relatively alternative, especially when compared to an East Coast Prep boarding school.
I think that even during Covid the town of Friday Harbour has been a fun place to be and I love that the students can walk to the beach or coffee shop if they need to get a break from campus.
The school is not perfectly equipped for learners who need extra support (IEP, etc) but the attentive staff and small teacher-student ratio make up for this.
Overall, I highly recommend the boarding program, 100%.

I've had the pleasure of visiting Spring Street several times and I always leave impressed. I was invited to be a guest speaker for their Environmental Systems class and was really inspired by the students' engagement in the subject matter. They asked such thoughtful questions and gave meaningful critiques. Their teacher was clearly dedicated to their education and growth.
During another visit, I was able to learn more about their fantastic hands-on film production classes from the film instructor. He has built a wonderful classroom and studio for the students to work out of for their productions.
The Spring Street students are so lucky to have such dedicated teachers and to be so well-immersed and engaged in their subjects!
