FROM THE head of School

We blend timeless values and tradition with innovative educational practices that support our students to become resourceful and adaptable, while deepening their capacity to think creatively and critically. Through our intentional blend of core academic courses, multi-disciplinary classes, and experiential learning opportunities, our students access relevant and meaningful learning experiences that prepare them to lead in the world to come, not the world that was.   

At Forest Ridge, we take immense pride in our warm, inclusive community that represents the richness of the Seattle area and fosters close-knit relationships and individualized attention. Our expert faculty and staff are deeply committed to nurturing each student’s potential, encouraging them to pursue their passions and interests. Here, every student is known, valued, and supported, creating an environment where they can thrive both academically and personally.  

While we cherish our intimate community, we are equally proud of our connection to the broader Sacred Heart Network of Schools, which spans over 150 schools worldwide. This global affiliation enriches our educational experience, providing our students with unparalleled opportunities to engage with diverse cultures, perspectives, and ideas. Through this network, our students gain a global outlook, preparing them to be thoughtful, informed, and proactive citizens of the world.  

Thank you for visiting our website- I invite you to visit campus to learn more about us. From the breathtaking drive up the hill, to the warm welcome you will receive upon your arrival, to the one of a kind programs we offer, you will quickly understand what makes a Forest Ridge education so profound. I look forward to meeting you!  

Sincerely, 

Mary Rose Guerin, Head of School
