Welcome

John Hay Elementary is a K-5 school in the Queen Anne neighborhood of Seattle, enrolling approximately 450 students. Our vision is "Personal Success, Public Stewardship, and a Pathway to the Stars for Every Student." As you explore this site, you will see the variety of programs and services we offer in support of this vision.

The core of John Hay's instructional program is a strong focus on math and literacy. We are also pleased to offer instruction in science, art, music, drama, physical education, and Spanish for all students. Funding for enrichment programs is generously provided by the John Hay Partners, our school's parent and staff organization. >>Testimonials

We offer tuition-based, full-day kindergarten, as well as several tutoring programs to promote the success of all students. We promote responsible citizenship through our student expectations and anti-bullying efforts, and we welcome volunteers who are willing to help in the classroom, workroom, lunchroom, or playground.
