Puget Sound Community School (PSCS) is a small private, independent, secular middle and high school in Seattle, Washington. It was founded in 1994 by Andy Smallman and his wife Melinda Shaw.
Daniel Pink's 2009 book Drive compares PSCS to Sudbury Valley School and Dennis Littky's Big Picture School, saying, "This tiny independent school in Seattle, Washington, gives its students a radical dose of autonomy, turning the 'one size fits all' approach of conventional schools on its head. Each student has an adviser who acts as her personal coach, helping her come up with her own learning goals."[1][2]
In 2009, the Seattle Times featured the school in its article "Kindness Taught in Seattle School’s Online Class."[3]
The New York Times featured PSCS in a 2017 article about non-binary youth.[4]
