MISSION STATEMENT:
Gonzaga
Preparatory School
exists to support the life of the Catholic Church in the Inland Northwest by seeking to serve all families who desire for their children Catholic education in the Jesuit tradition. Our pledge is to provide, in concert with the parents, alumni and community, an educational opportunity, which seeks to form Christian leaders spiritually, intellectually, physically and culturally.
Guided by the Gospel values of love and justice, students are challenged to fulfill their potential as life-long learners in service to others.
BACKGROUND:
Gonzaga Preparatory is one of the finest academic schools in the Pacific Northwest while it simultaneously emphasizes the dignity and worth of the individual. Gonzaga Prep education is inspired by the sixteenth century tradition of St. Ignatius to prepare young people to be thoughtful, responsible people for others. St. Ignatius challenged us to do more than average work and to instill in our students the desire to lead and to serve their community. To do this, we strive to help our students become open to growth, intellectually competent, spiritual, loving, and committed to doing justice.
PURPOSE:
