Making the most of Bertschi’s own "back yard."

At Bertschi, students are able to explore and interact with the best that North Capitol Hill has to offer. Students regularly go on outings to a variety of landmarks, parks, and special destinations. And most locations are just a short walk or bus ride from the Bertschi campus.

Places to visit in the neighborhood:

• The kindergarten class walks to the renowned urban garden of Daniel and Anne Streissguth a couple of times during the year. The Streissguth’s maintain a wonderland of native plants, butterflies, bees, and other treasures that our children love to explore. Daniel and Anne then visit the class in the spring to share more about their love of gardening and connection to the land.
• Bertschi students walk to Volunteer Park to explore the Conservatory as well as the Seattle Asian Art Museum.
• The Pre-K class visits the Seattle Fire Station just blocks away as part of Fire Safety month. The outing includes a stop for lunch and play at Roanoke Park across the street.
• The first grade class enjoys a relationship with a first grade class at Stevens Elementary School, which includes letters between students, visits to both schools and a joint outing to Volunteer Park.
