Closing date: Feb 7, 2025

Nestled along the eastern slopes of the North Cascades, surrounded by towering peaks, deep valleys, and winding rivers, our school district is more than just a place of learning—it’s a vibrant community that is always evolving. Reflecting the spirit of the region, we are united by a shared commitment to the growth, discovery, and boundless potential of every student. This is a special place, where the breathtaking beauty of nature is mirrored by the care, dedication, and pride we take in supporting our students and their aspirations.

At the core of our educational philosophy is a bold vision: to develop curious, creative, compassionate, competent, action-oriented citizens prepared to change the world. We strive to empower students to think critically, act with purpose, and engage with the world in meaningful, transformative ways. Achieving this vision is a collective effort, one made possible by our vibrant and engaged community of parents, volunteers, educational partners, and local businesses.

The Methow Valley is home to approximately 7,000 full-time residents who share a deep connection to the land, each other, and the rhythms of life in this remarkable region. Surrounded by the rugged North Cascades and the winding Methow River, the valley is a stunning tapestry of dramatic landscapes, diverse ecosystems, and natural beauty. Whether you’re skiing world-class trails in the winter, hiking through pristine wilderness in the summer, or simply soaking in the tranquility of the valley year-round, the Methow offers endless opportunities for outdoor adventure and recreation.

Beyond its breathtaking scenery, the Methow Valley is a close-knit, welcoming community where neighbors know each other by name and life is lived with intention and purpose. Here, the pace is slower, allowing space for connection, creativity, and a deep sense of belonging. In addition to its outdoor allure, the valley is a cultural hub, offering a rich array of local art galleries, live performances, community festivals, and events that showcase the unique spirit of the Methow Valley.

With its perfect balance of natural beauty, tight-knit community, and diverse opportunities for recreation and cultural enrichment, the Methow Valley is more than just a place—it’s a way of being.
