About
Broadview-Thomson K-8 School
At Broadview-Thomson K-8, we educate students to be productive and lifelong learners. We provide our students with a positive, nurturing environment by challenging them to reach high academic standards, learn critical thinking and citizenship skills and gain experience with technology.
Through the partnership of our staff, students, parents and community members, we provide students with access to enrichment activities and academic supports that allows each child to reach their individual potential.
Students and teachers engage in fun, diverse and rigorous learning activities. Through differentiation and comprehensive programming, Broadview-Thomson staff members work to meet the needs of all students: accelerated learners, English language learners, special education and struggling learners.
Technology is used daily as an instructional tool, an educational resource and a necessary life-long skill. We offer students a variety of after-school activities that further supports learning and personal exploration.
We provide an inviting, supportive and safe environment for students, staff and families. Broadview-Thomson?s climate fosters student health, wellness, and self-esteem.
We provide a progressive counseling and support services program that promotes relationship building and positive personal development.
As a K-8 school, we are fortunate to have middle school students who model our virtues and mentor our younger students.
Broadview-Thomson celebrates its growing, diverse community and invites you to join us!
The first step for parents will be to register with The Source, the Seattle School District’s tool for providing access to student attendance, grades, and assessment data.

In 1981 the Broadview school staff and students moved into the Thomson Junior High School building after it was closed, and joined the two names. In 2007 Viewlands School closed and many of their staff and students moved into Broadview-Thomson.
In 2007 Broadview-Thomson began the process of becoming a K-8 school and in 2010 had their first graduating class. As a K-8 school,the facility is large enough to allow for a great breadth of school and community programs.
