Seattle Preparatory School

Seattle Preparatory School Seattle Prep is a Catholic college preparatory school. Faithful to the Jesuit tradition.

To borrow a phrase from the early Jesuits, our “way of proceeding” is not like other ways. We eschew, for example, curricula focused on rote memorization and standardized tests. Rather, our way challenges students to extend their reach beyond information toward formation and, at special moments, transformation, thus creating a learning environment that is fully responsive to the expectations of an active, responsible global citizen in the 21st century.
