St. Alphonsus Parish School Seattle
PreK-8 Catholic school focused on academic excellence and founded in faith, tradition and community. St.
Alphonsus Parish School strives to create a Catholic educational community where teachers, students, and parents/guardians in a spirit of love share human knowledge, enlightened and enlivened by faith. The goals of the school flow from the fundamental understanding that this is a Catholic educational community.
At St. Alphonsus, we value teacher-led instruction over screens.
It's the start of summer, but it's not too early to consider a change of school for the fall. Principal Nick Padrnos shares how St. Alphonsus uses technology intentionally and partners with parents to delay the introduction of the smartphone. It's a common sense approach.

Thank you , our Backyard Grill Sponsor for this year’s drama production of Barbecuing Hamlet. To grill or not to grill—turns out it’s deliciously fun.

School Leadership Matters
As Principal Nick Padrnos approaches his 5-year milestone at St. Alphonsus, our community is reflecting on what makes the school so special, a place where students grow not just academically, but as curious and virtuous young people.
From classrooms filled with meaningful discussion and great books, to a school culture rooted in strong relationships and joyful faith, the impact is clear. Our students are thriving, and families feel the difference.
We’re grateful for 5 years of vision, dedication, and care for every student and family. And we’re just getting started.
