My Mother went here, my aunt went there, and so did I many years ago.
I found it rather clickish at the time, but I did enjoy it at the time as opposed to a traditional co-ed catholic school.
Back then , no real support for people with disabilities, but fast forward to today...the school seems much improved.

I could not have asked for a better all-girls private high school experience. Here at Holy Names Academy I have been academically challenged, as HNA uniquely offers Advanced Placement classes starting your freshman year. The faculty and staff are unbelievable and will provide a great source of support. They are not just here to teach the information in the textbooks, but also lessons that will help you throughout your life. The endless leadership opportunities offered at Holy Names have pushed me to go out of my comfort zone and learn what it means to be a young woman in leadership. I have enjoyed

Holy Names is an exceptional school with extraordinary people. The students are focused, motivated, thoughtful and passionate about learning and making the world a better place. The sisterhood and sense of community permeate each facet of school life. The teachers truly care about the success and well-being of each student, and go above and beyond to help all students excel in life. Love this place!

Holy Names Academy is the premier Seattle private school. Excelling in sports, academics, and extra-curricular activities, Holy Names students are exceptionally prepared for college and beyond. Alumnae go on to become leaders in their communities and frequently attribute their successes to the education they received at Holy Names Academy. I highly recommend this high school to any young woman looking to make an impact in the world.

The best education for young women in Seattle and beyond! Great teachers - gorgeous facility and a history as a catholic institution that is supportive to a wide variety of religions. Excellent in sports, science, music, drama, languages and mathematics. A Blue Ribbon Award winning school! You'll be happy if your daughter is accepted - and so will she! (Oh and a beautiful chapel to get married in years later!)
