Blanchet is an amazing school. I am now a senior at Seattle University and find that I am better prepared than many of my peers. I often find that in English classes I have read the works assigned before. I was also well prepared for my Philosophy and Religion classes required at a Jesuit institution
... Read more such as Seattle U. I enjoyed my time at Blanchet, and felt that through anything I had a strong support system in the faculty, staff and my peers. The teachers want to see you succeed inside and outside of the classroom. Many of the students are from backgrounds other than Catholic. I did find that my friends who attended Parochial grade schools thrived better in the environment at Blanchet. I think it was because they were better prepared for the the level of academic rigor in such a school. Read less

I am a current senior at Bishop Blanchet, and I highly recommend this school to anybody looking for a high standard in education as well as a strong, supportive community. The students at Blanchet care about each other, and it is practically impossible to be a 'loner'. Even though Blanchet is a Catholic
... Read more school, I have had no trouble being lutheran and still feeling welcome. The academics at Blanchet are top-notch. Honors curriculum is available to all grades, but AP courses are typically offered only to grades 11 and 12. Regardless, it is impossible to 'slip under the radar' at Blanchet. The teachers actively engage the class, guiding students toward a higher level of understanding while reinforcing good study habits and active learning. I am actively involved in jazz band, swim team, and St. Vincent De paul society. Due to the multitude of extracurricular programs offered, it is very easy to get involved. Read less
