Message from Our Principal
Welcome to Camelot Elementary, a National Blue Ribbon School!!
“Camelot is a school designed to resemble a castle with the intrigue of our knights in armor and the mystery of the sword in the stone. It is nestled in a quiet forest neighborhood in the Federal Way Public School system. We are a small school of about 350 students.
“You must reach a child to teach a child” has been at the heart of instruction at Camelot. We believe that for all students to learn we must build relationships with them and provide instruction that meets their academic needs as well as learning styles. Our focus is on the whole child, not just curriculum. It is on life skills such as responsibility, respect, and integrity. We call these “ thinking skills ” and “ intelligent behaviors ”. We believe that with these skills students are prepared to be independent thinkers and lifelong learners who understand academic standards and set goals to meet them.
Each year our school has a new theme. Our theme this year is the bumblebee.
"Impossible"
According to the theory of aerodynamics, as may be readily demonstrated through wind tunnel experiments, the bumblebee is unable to fly. This is because the size, weight, and shape of its body--in relation to total wingspan--make flying impossible. But the bumblebee, ignorant of these scientific truths, goes ahead and flies anyway.
We at Camelot believe that the unique characteristics and abilities of each of our students together create the beauty and success of Camelot.
