#1 Best Boarding High Schools in Seattle Area
Senior: Annie Wright has been such an amazing institution to study at for my high school career. As a full IB Diploma student, I found the courses challenging, thought-provoking, and fascinating! The small community and class sizes are very beneficial to creating the best learning environment. Additionally, community events and traditions build long-lasting connections and memories that you can carry with you through life. Lastly, as a 5-day boarding student, I can confidently say that the dorms added so much to my high school experience, being able to live with your friends across the grade levels.

#2 Best Boarding High Schools in Seattle Area
Parent: My daughter has thrived in the middle school at Forest Ridge. Her teachers care deeply not only about her academic development and achievement, but also about her as a person. You won't find a team of teachers and administrators who are more caring and who know how girls learn and operate, especially during the difficult middle school years. While no one wants to be doing digital learning, this school was able to pivot seamlessly during this pandemic, and we have been beyond thrilled with level of academics that have continued at home, which is a testament to the wonderful teachers.

#3 Best Boarding High Schools in Seattle Area
Parent: Our youngest child is in the 4th year at NWS. Our oldest child is in a different school (senior) and that school has a very high rank with this site. The ranking is only as relevant as your child and family fit. NWS has a strong social justice and sustainability focus, integrated with a thoughtful curriculum.
One distinction is their Humanities program. The curriculum integrates language arts, social studies, and geography in Middle School and history, English, philosophy, art history, and literature in Upper School. I did not realize the full meaning of the benefits until I was in a debate with my student with a very integrative argument! The real world is integrative, so why not educate our students that way.
The teachers and administrators are passionate about building a whole child and cultivating a caring school culture. When a significant event happens in the real world, the teachers allow time for reflection. I love how they teaches through the child's eyes.

West Sound Academy
Private School

#4 Best Boarding High Schools in Seattle Area
Senior: West Sound Academy is a very comfortable environment to learn in. The teachers are generally good and administration is more than willing to work with students to problem solve when issues arise. The culture of the school is caring and open-minded. One issue that I notice at West Sound Academy is the startling lack of diversity for an International Baccalaureate school. The student body is overwhelmingly caucasian. Despite this lack in diversity, West Sound Academy does a good job encouraging exchange students to share their culture and to not merely adopt the culture of the United States but to create more of an equal trade between their own culture and the culture they are surrounded by in the Pacific Northwest.

#5 Best Boarding High Schools in Seattle Area
Senior: I attended Evergreen for four years. Evergreen is so small it’s like a family- that is the number one thing anyone will say about the school culture. The family aspect spreads not only between students, but with the faculty, staff, parents, and with anyone associated with the school in any way. Evergreen has a strong basis on quality Christian education, and the basis through this basis grants the students with an amazing education. I love Evergreen and will support it for my life.

#6 Best Boarding High Schools in Seattle Area
Senior: Auburn Adventist Academy is a great school!! The teachers and staff care very much about the students. If a student does want to come here be prepared for some hard classes, but also some fun ones as well. Students will be able to enjoy chapels, vespers, and other fun school events throughout the school year!! Even if you live far away, but want to come here, AAA has both a girl’s and boy’s dorm fit for those specific students. At AAA, students can enjoy delicious vegetarian dishes made by our wonderful head chef. Even if the days seem long at times, students can still enjoy time spent with their friends. Lastly, students who go to AAA will get a chance yo grow their relationship with Christ. God is the forefront of this school and here you can make a religious choice that best fits you. While these are just my thoughts, AAA is a wonderful school for people from anywhere to get an education.

The Madeira School

Senior: This school absolutely changed my life! I entered as a new sophomore, yet I was immediately welcomed into the community. All the girls are truly nice, and there's always something to do on the weekends. The adults are always doing their best to improve the school culture. However, I hope to see in the future that the school would do more to eliminate micro aggressions on campus.
