Seattle Preparatory School, popularly known as Seattle Prep, is a private, Jesuit high school located on Capitol Hill in Seattle, Washington, United States.
After it was founded in 1891, Seattle Prep merged with Immaculate Conception Parish School, a local Jesuit Boys' School in First Hill which would later become Seattle University, in 1898 and became a part of Seattle College. From 1919 to 1931, Seattle College's only campus was at the current site of Seattle Prep. In 1931, Seattle University and Seattle Prep split off from each other and Seattle University moved back to its original First Hill location.
