The Overlake School is a private non-sectarian, co-ed, college prep day school located in Redmond, Washington. It serves 475 students in grades 5 through 12. The school was founded in 1967 by Charlie Clarke.
Athletics
The mens soccer program has long been a primary contender for the state title in the A/B League, and before that, the Chinook League. During the 1999-2003 period the team accrued three league MVP's, fifteen cumulative first team all-league recognitions and two State-Semifinals. The men's golf team also won the state championships in 2005. In 2006, the mens tennis team won state in both singles and doubles in addition to claiming the team state title, sportsmanship award, academic award, and league title. The mens tennis team has had the most success of all Overlake sports in recent years.
Location
The Overlake School is currently located in Redmond, Washington. The original campus was located at the Redwood Manor by Marymoor Park and then was relocated to the basement of the Eastside YMCA. In 1972, Dean Palmer moved the school to its current location. The campus was originally a farm and The Overlake School retrofitted a barn to facilitate its needs with the help of students. Since then, it has been expanding with new buildings such as the Fulton Performing Arts Center (opened 2000) and a new gym (opened 2005). Overlake has bought more land for these buildings and currently occupies 75 acres. Its students also create heavy traffic. The school is located near Farrel McWhirter Park. In addition to the main school buildings, the school's land also includes the headmaster's home, a parent center (formerly a neighbor's property), several athletic fields, and a ropes course. Limited parking is available near the school itself, and so juniors and softmores are required to park at auxiliary lots.
Ethics
The Overlake School is known for its incredibly trusting enviorment. Students can simply leave their back packs arround the sprawling campus knowing that nobody will take them. This trust is important to not only the students who attend The Overlake School but also the teachers.
