WMS operates on two campuses, the original campus in Woodinville which is home to four Early Childhood classrooms, and the main campus in Bothell, home to two Toddler, four Early Childhood, nine Elementary, and two Secondary classrooms. The leadership team actively collaborates in guiding and supporting the faculty, staff, students, and families that call the WMS community home.
