School Profile

Located in the Bryant neighborhood in northeast Seattle, Assumption-St. Bridget School is a PreK-8 school for Assumption Parish and St. Bridget Parish. As the parish school, the school partners with parents to provide excellent education in the Catholic tradition. Students grow in faith through prayer, study, and service. As they develop academic skills, they learn to think critically, to collaborate effectively, and to use technology appropriately.

Philosophy

We strive to effectively teach the whole child through seeing each child as a unique individual with particular learning strengths, needs and preferences, as well as a powerful personal history. Our goal is to create students who are life-long learners with a broad worldview and the skills and confidence to be leaders and role models of Catholic teaching.We commit ourselves to continuous development in our understanding of the learning- assessing-teaching process and in the refinement of our skills as teachers and administrators in implementing best educational practices based upon research, self- assessment, and experience.

We commit ourselves to providing diverse ways in which students can experience themselves as challenged, supported and successful in their present lives; which build the moral, social, intellectual, and personal skills for productive living and leadership as adults; and which provide the foundation for ethical thinking, self-direction and a commitment to continued personal growth.
