    Chief Sealth has SO MUCH POTENTIAL. For the opportunities that are given to students, so few…read moreactually take advantage of them. Programs and Opportunities: -IB (International Bachelorette)- A program in the Junior-Senior years where you can get an IB diploma by having a full IB schedule. IB is similar to AP in the sense that it has harder course work. IB credits can be transferred internationally, being good for a student that wants to go out of state. -Trio Program (college prep) -Upward Bound (college prep) -College Bound (college prep/scholarship) -clubs (a lot of clubs) -Language classes (Japanese, Chinese, and Spanish) -Music Program -YMCA programs -Neighborhood Healthcare (super important for low-income students/ students that need to do things discreetly). The one thing that bothers me the most at Sealth is, nobody has spirit. Spirit is something that has a huge impact on the way you experience high school. I'd say less than 15% of the school dresses up for spirit days, participates in pep assemblies, and attends dances. It makes for a very lame high school experience. The teachers are the people who have the most spirit. You can go to ANY other school, and they will have at least double the student spirit than Sealth. Garfield is a perfect example. As for sports, Chief Sealth quite frankly isn't the best in sports. The sports that do have a lot of potential are usually overlooked. Luckily, some sports have been receiving more recognition, like wrestling. Quite honestly, the school spends too much money on some sports, not going to say which ones. The athletes are sore losers a lot of the time, so sportsmanship could be improved. On to teachers, the teachers at Sealth are pretty good. I'd say they all have super different styles of teaching. Out of all the teachers that I have had from Sealth, 3 have actually bothered me. The thing that all 3 of these teachers exhibited was passive aggressiveness. Being passive aggressive is just such a bad approach to teaching, students don't feel safe sharing their questions or concerns. There are some other teachers who some may think are crazy, but those "crazy" teachers end up being the most influential and kids take the most away from them. The last thing about Sealth: they recently put in a new rule. If you're a running start student or part-time student, you're not allowed to be on campus unless it's fifteen minutes before your class. This rule is dumb, there are so many other reasons that a student might need to be at their high school campus. What if a student wants to get their FREE/REDUCED lunch? What if a student needs to talk to their counselor? What if a student has nowhere else to go because they live far from the school? Whoever implemented this rule obviously has no idea about students' outside lives/circumstances. The high school should be a safe place where the student can work on their homework and eat lunch, even if they are a few hours early. They're still apart of the school, they're still enrolled at the school. The thing is, this rule was created to prevent running start kids from coming and wandering around the school (which rarely ever happens), but the school can't even control the kids that have full-time schedules at the school. There are always like 20+ kids just wandering the halls and skipping. Worry about the kids in the school first.

    I just checked their website - thank God most staff are gone. The previous principal, Eve, was a…read moredonkey. She had no idea how to do her job. There were a few teachers who were GREAT, but are no longer there. All in all, let me put it this way: just because it's a private school does NOT mean it's good. When my kiddo went to public school, she was much much happier and really grew as a person.

    My wife and I are not Catholic, but we tried two other much more expensive private schools before…read morediscovering how wonderful St Bernadette is. When we began to bring our boys there two years ago, our family was one of several who had moved from another nearby Catholic school. Contrary to the other one, the teachers at St Bernadette are surprisingly motivated and serious about teaching; and students are there to learn. Teachers are constantly interacting with parents, and parents are involved. Students pick up on this attitude, so the atmosphere is calm and focused on instruction, rather than behavioral correction. One can feel this when entering the building. In the other two nearby private schools, (one of them also Catholic), the battle to correct disruptive students was hopeless. In other schools, teachers admitted to deleting large portions of the syllabus in order to make up for time wasted on kids shouting out in the classroom. At St Bernadette, classrooms are calm, and students are divided into smaller groups based on learning speed. One of our boys even receives advanced level work packets prepared specially for him by the mathematics teacher. Unlike other private schools, we're not constantly hounded to keep contributing money. Every few months there are terrific ethnic banquets prepared by parents to foster a loving spirit of community.
