Paraprofessional Expansion Westside School launched a para-to-teacher program in 2022 through Midland University, indicating a willingness to partner on staffing initiatives and professional development; this suggests an opportunity to offer teacher-training programs, recruitment services, and HR technology that supports mentoring and pipeline management.

Tech Stack Fit Current technology footprint includes iCIMS, Google Workspace, Office 365, Datadog, New Relic, and web security/productivity tools, revealing openness to enterprise software and student data governance improvements; potential upsell to education-specific LMS integrations, cybersecurity, analytics, and IT operations solutions.

Scale Potential With 201-500 employees and revenue in the $1M–$10M range, Westside School is a mid-sized independent school that may be evaluating modernization, CRM, and enrollment optimization to compete with larger peers; ideal target for enrollment marketing, donor/fundraising platforms, and ERP-like solutions tailored to schools.

Independent Education Focus Position as West Seattle’s premier independent elementary and middle school emphasizes strong family partnerships and rigorous curricula; opportunity to offer parent engagement apps, communication platforms, and student success analytics that align with holistic education values.

Strategic Partnerships Recent media coverage on para-to-teacher initiative indicates openness to external partnerships and community collaboration; potential for pilot programs, sponsored research, or co-branded initiatives in areas like student wellbeing, tutoring, or after-school programs, plus sponsorship or charity tech solutions.
