About
Empowering girls since 1907
Founded in 1907 by the Religious of the Sacred Heart, Forest Ridge educates and inspires girls and young women in 5th through 12th grades. Located in Bellevue, Forest Ridge is the only Sacred Heart school in the Pacific Northwest. We are an independent, Catholic, college preparatory school, and a recognized pioneer in all-girls' middle school and upper school education. Our students thrive in our rigorous, integrated global curriculum, and feel supported to take risks and challenge themselves to achieve more than they ever thought possible.
