Nurturing wisdom and compassion in the heart of Seattle since 1994.
"To provide a holistic education that harmonizes academic excellence with character development, inspiring students to lead with a heart of gratitude and serve humanity."
We envision a world where every student is empowered with the wisdom to understand themselves and the compassion to uplift others. At Tzu Chi Academy Seattle, we cultivate the "Four Graces" (Graces of Parent, Teacher, Community, and All Living Beings).

Developing a heart that feels the joy and suffering of others.
Cultivating global citizens with universal love and respect.
Gaining not just knowledge, but the insight to use it for good.
Giving selflessly without expectation of return.
Founded in 1994, Tzu Chi Academy Seattle began with a handful of volunteers and a singular vision: to bring the spirit of "Master Cheng Yen" to our children in the Pacific Northwest.
What started as a small community language school has blossomed into a comprehensive academy where hundreds of families come together to celebrate Chinese culture and cultivate a better future through education.
