Nestled in the heart of Seattle, Benjamin Franklin Day Elementary School is not just a school; it’s a cherished part of our community and the oldest operating school in the city! Known affectionately as the family school, it stands as a historical landmark, rich with stories and memories.

At B. F. Day, we believe in the power of community. Our school thrives on the active participation of parents and community members who help shape our school’s governance and support our students. Together, we create a nurturing environment where every child can flourish.

What We Offer:

• Preschool Program: A warm and welcoming space for our youngest learners to explore and grow.
• Library: A treasure trove of books and resources to spark imagination and a love for reading.
• School Counselor: Dedicated support to help students navigate their feelings and build strong social skills.

We are also deeply committed to social-emotional learning, ensuring that our students not only excel academically but also develop the skills to understand and manage their emotions. Our efforts have been recognized by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), honoring us for our exemplary school counseling program.
