KapKa Cooperative School is an independent elementary school, founded in 1989 and serving grades K-5 in Seattle, WA. Together we empower passionate learners and creative problem-solvers, rooted in community, to build a more just and sustainable world. Our logo, which features a little fir tree sheltered by a larger tree, is reflective of this mission, symbolizing the natural growth that occurs when a child is rooted in a nurturing environment.

LEARNING — With our small class sizes, amazing teachers and progressive approach to education, we meet kids where they are academically, socially and emotionally, fostering a sincere and powerful love of learning. Discover more about our approach.

COMMUNITY — KapKa’s many rich traditions bring families together, connecting children and adults to each other and to the history of their school. As a cooperative school, we welcome and support parents as active participants, giving all students the experience of being known and supported by a “village” of caring adults. Meet our teachers and learn more about family involvement.
