Chief Sealth High School

I feel very fortunate to have chosen Chief Sealth International High school, where I am soon to be a senior (c/o 2011). The teachers and staff are extremely helpful and quick to accommodate special needs. Other students are friendly. In regards to the "reputation" it has received from students enrolled in other schools and middle school students looking at high schools is almost completely unfounded and undeserved. This school is extremely diverse and safe, no matter what people continue to say. The IB (international baccalaureate) program is challenging and yet informative. Another bonus is the two academies offered by the school, Academy of Hospitality and Tourism, as well as the Academy of Finance. Other notable programs include Proyecto Saber, Global Leadership/Global Visionaries exchange program, and the school now houses the Confucius Institute of the State of Washington Education Center. I love Chief Sealth International High School.

There are so many great things to say about Sealth...the wonderfully diverse students, the dynamic staff, the dedicated PTSA...the list goes on! Overall, it's a fantastic school!

Chief Sealth High School has a beautifully diverse student population that is civically, creatively & academically engaged. These are mindful young people with a committed, supportive staff who value community.

Our school has, probably, the most diverse student population in the state of Washington. We have the most amazing teachers that students get to work with throughout four years of their high school career! Our academic program with the International Baccalaureate and Running Start makes it all the better, plus our countless, various activities and classes that are offered to us.
