Open Window School was founded in 1983 by Mary Ann Simpson and Jean Booker to serve intellectually gifted preschoolers.
In 1985, it was incorporated and expanded to include an elementary program.
Initially, Open Window was housed in a church basement in Bellevue.
After several years, it relocated to the former Lake Heights Elementary School in Newport Hills, Bellevue, where it shared the rented facility with the Lake Heights YMCA.
Since its inception, Open Window has been dedicated to nurturing children's social and emotional needs, intellectual curiosity, creativity and capacity for critical thinking along with advanced academic skills.
