The Prep community is connected by a common mission. Our strength is in our 132-year history, 13 decades of graduates, and 1 purpose to educate young men and women in the Catholic, Jesuit tradition to go forth and set the world on fire. On our 5-acre property, tucked away on the North-end of Capitol Hill, Seattle Preparatory School strives to not only provide our students with a transformative education, but also do the necessary work to form compassionate, resilient, and service-driven men and women for others. As a Catholic, Jesuit institution we embody 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 our community. Established in 1891, our goal is to continue our mission for generations to come.

Jesuit education, also known as Ignatian education, is an approach to education inspired by the teachings and principles of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits), a Catholic religious order. Jesuit education is known for its emphasis on intellectual rigor, moral and ethical development, and the holistic formation of individuals. Jesuit education is not limited to Catholic students, and our own and many more Jesuit institutions welcome students of various religious backgrounds. The principles of Jesuit education have been influential in the development of a well-rounded, values-based approach to education that extends beyond the classroom and into the broader community.
