Young people are capable of far more than we expect

Creators House is a private, learner-driven K–12 school in Bothell where young people practice real responsibility, grow through meaningful challenge, and graduate ready to lead their own lives.

This is not a traditional school. And it is not the right fit for every family.

Learner-driven communities led by heroes in the making.

At Creators House, young people practice self-management and self-governance every day. They set goals, manage their time, hold one another accountable, and tackle meaningful projects in a community built on high standards.

Inspired by timeless stories of courage and character, learners are treated as protagonists in their own growth - not passengers in a system.

Our Mission

We believe that each person who enters our doors deserves to find a calling and change the world.

"I would never have believed children could learn so much from each other...
until I saw it with my own eyes. The lessons of self-management and self-governance have prepared our fifth-grade daughter to be a lifelong learner.”
