Soundview School
Meet the Client:
Soundview School is an independent school dedicated to providing an ethical, rigorous, and compassionate education where every child can thrive. With a strong commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB), Soundview fosters a culture where students of all backgrounds are welcomed, respected, and prepared for the complexities of the modern world. Their mission is clear: to meet each child where they are and equip them with the skills, values, and confidence to succeed.
Serving more than 170 students at over 90% capacity, Soundview has doubled in size in recent years while maintaining its hallmark culture of belonging and academic excellence. Guided by a forward-looking Board of Trustees, the school has set a 2023–2028 strategic plan that builds on its strengths, expands enrollment, and develops both its campus and leadership capacity. Soundview continues to grow with the same spirit that has defined it from the beginning — a belief that education should be both challenging and compassionate.
Project Overview:
We first partnered with Soundview School years ago to redesign their original website and have supported them with ongoing maintenance ever since. When the opportunity arose to start fresh, we were excited to reimagine the site from the ground up with a focus on connecting with more parents and boosting student enrollment. They also wanted to incorporate better functionality to accept donations and sell branded merch to support their school. We helped them make full use of Squarespace’s functionality including built in donation functions and an integration with Printify. We helped setup a variety of branded products to sell to their community.
The project included a full rebrand, a completely new Squarespace build, and thoughtful use of Soundview’s strong visual assets. We incorporated custom CSS and SquareKicker enhancements to create a design that feels both polished and personal. With mobile optimization, SEO integration, and continued refinements as their needs evolve, the new site positions Soundview to better showcase its mission, culture, and educational excellence while driving meaningful conversions.
