History
Seattle Girls' School was founded by the board of trustees, a group of Seattle residents, in fall 2001. The school's current location at the corner of S. Jackson Street and MLK Way S was not completely finished when students for that year were being admitted, and the first open house was held in a gymnasium.
From the founding in 2001 to 2005 SGS accepted students through 6th and 7th grade. In the 2005-2006 year 5th grade and 8th grade was added.
