Vision Statement

Our Vision

Alternative education at Salmon Bay K-8 means immersing the student in a program that embraces child development as the guiding principle of learning, and builds relationships between kids, teachers, families and communities. This also means looking at the whole child in order to empower students to take ownership of their learning through:

 

  • Multiple perspectives and learning styles 

  • Student-centered, integrated, project-based, hands-on curriculum 

  • Outdoor, environmental and experiential education 

  • Creativity and artistic expression in music, drama, art, writing and thinking 

  • School as a community that offers both support and responsibilities 

  • A connection to the word as local and global citizens 

  • The values of inclusion and diversity

History of the School

Coho Alternative Elementary School and New Options Middle School (NOMS) were merged into one school in the fall of 1999. This school existed for three years under the name COHO*NOMS.

Both schools had previously existed on their own for about 10 years each. In the spring of 2002, through a process involving the whole school community, the school was renamed Salmon Bay School.
