Men and Women for Others

Seattle Prep is a Catholic, Jesuit college preparatory school. We embrace the Ignatian ideals that God may be found in all things, that each person is sacred and that we are created to serve others in community. Our mission is to form discerning, transformational leaders who are intellectually competent, spiritually alive, open to growth, loving and committed to justice.

Distinctively Prep

Leadership. Collegio. Social Justice. These are just three of the areas you will see and experience as unique at Seattle Prep.

Leadership

Our tradition of Jesuit education offers important lessons about how ethical leaders can meet the challenges of the day. With a focus on servant leadership and forming men and women for others, Prep prioritizes reflection and analysis as tools of discernment.

Collegio

This signature program rests on the premise that intensive, interdisciplinary study of the humanities challenges students to grapple with ideas, not fact memorization, and emphasizes building connections between concepts instead of merely assimilating information.

Social Justice

The Jesuit ordained Pope Francis says, "an authentic faith always involves a deep desire to change the world, to transmit values, to leave this earth somehow better than we found it."
