[edit] ONE
Seattle Lutheran High School’s core message is One.
The parable of the lost sheep is a key message at Seattle Lutheran High School. Jesus declared, “your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should be lost.” At Seattle Lutheran High School we take Jesus’ parable seriously. Our focus is on the one, in whatever form that may take. Maybe it’s one who excels and needs additional opportunities. Maybe it’s one who needs additional support through our Discovery program. A small school atmosphere with an 11:1 student to teacher ratio allows us to ensure that “In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should be lost.” Matthew 8:14
Differentiated Instruction is an instructional concept that maximizes learning for ALL students—regardless of skill level or background. It's based on the fact that in a typical classroom, students vary in their academic abilities, learning styles, personalities, interests, background knowledge and experiences, and levels of motivation for learning.

We empower every student to develop Confidence, Hope, Integrity and Passion as they learn their purpose. These are the outcomes we expect our graduates to model.
Confidence The Hebrew word translated "confidence" baTach means "to be open." The Latin con means “with” and fide means “faith,” so the word itself means “with faith.” We ask our students to be open. Being open means making yourself vulnerable. To be open with faith allows students to open their hearts and minds in a safe and loving environment to begin to discover their purpose.
Hope is a belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances in one's life. Hope as an emotion produces a “motivation to act.” Hope is often the result of faith. Inspired by hope and equipped with faith and openness, we empower our students with a motivation to act.
Integrity involves basing one's actions on internally consistent principles and core values. Integrity is the outcome of action as opposed to an individualized motivation. As students develop their core values and consistent principles, motivation is transformed to action.
Passion The Bible refers to Jesus’ suffering and death as His passion. It was His calling. It was the purpose for which He gave His life. Students make and implement choices that reflect their purpose through a summative senior project that manifests their confidence, hope, integrity and passion.
[edit] Sports
The Seattle Lutheran High School Athletic Program is organized to cultivate such traits of Christian character as courage, loyalty, cooperation, self-discipline, teamwork, and good sportsmanship.
Athletics at Seattle Lutheran are considered an integral part of the total educational program. The athletic program works within the framework of the schools philosophy. The athletic experience at Seattle Lutheran allows the participant to use and develop their God given talents through activity in a controlled Christian Faith environment.
The world is very competitive. Athletes need to learn how to compete and to give totally of themselves in every activity and be satisfied with their effort, whether in victory or defeat.
Coaches dedicate themselves in the development of all the above mentioned attributes in the young athletes they come in contact with, both on and off the field of competition. Coaches increase the athletes' sense of commitment and develop a new sense of priorities with regard to success.
Success is a Journey, Not a Destination
