A welcoming environment regardless of religion. A Catholic school, make no mistake; but about 1/3 of families are not. (Me: non-believing non-Catholic.) My kids exposure to values and beliefs engenders discussions about our responsibilities in the world today. Academically: surprising richness of the curriculum for a small school, as well as excellent programs (art and music, Spanish in all grades) and extracurriculars (sports, Chinese, a Seattle Opera in-school performance involving students, and others). Curriculum is traditional, with homework heavy at times; sometimes too worksheet-oriented, and not geared to special needs. But with class sizes 16 to low 20s, there is good teacher interaction for each student. The community is close, with parents are involved in classrooms and in helping run the school. Big events both tax the volunteer parents and build community, such as the September Wurst Fest, which draws thousands. All this at half the cost of area private schools.
