Forest Ridge School of the Sacred Heart is a private, Roman Catholic, all-girls middle school and high school in Bellevue, Washington, USA, with a student population of around 260.[2] The school is a member of the Society of the Sacred Heart schools and is part of the global Network of Sacred Heart Schools.[3] Forest Ridge educates girls in grades 5 through 12.
Forest Ridge was established in Seattle in 1907 as the Convent of the Sacred Heart- Forest Ridge by the Religious of the Sacred Heart. The informal name was Forest Ridge Convent or FRC. The school relocated to Somerset Hill in Bellevue in 1971, and the Seattle building was sold to the Seattle Hebrew Academy, which is still located there. Currently, Forest Ridge's informal names are FR or FRS (for Forest Ridge School). In 2006, Forest Ridge made major additions and renovations to its campus, notably the main high school building, the main offices and chapel housed in the Sacred Heart Center, and the science labs.[4]
Starting from 2017, Forest Ridge halted its international baccalaureate program and removed honors courses from its offerings.[5]
Forest Ridge offers a no-cut policy. Students can choose from a variety of sports such as soccer, cross country, basketball, volleyball, lacrosse, softball, track, tennis and golf.[6]
