Forest Ridge School of the Sacred Heart is a private, Roman Catholic, all-girls middle school and high school in Bellevue, Washington, USA. The school is a member of the Society of the Sacred Heart schools and is part of the global Network of Sacred Heart Schools. 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. Currently, Forest Ridge's informal names are FR or FRS (for Forest Ridge School). In 2006, Forest Ridge opened the doors to its newest additions: the Sacred Heart Center, which houses the campus chapel, and a state of the art high school building. At this time, the school also renovated the campus science labs for both the middle and high schools. The architects responsible for this expansion were Bassetti Architects. The 2007 to 2008 school year marked Forest Ridge's 100th year of education, making the graduating seniors the centennial class. During the 2007-2008 school year, which ended June 9, 2008, 367 students (187 middle schoolers and 180 high schoolers) attended Forest Ridge.
In 1996, Forest Ridge was one of the first schools in the United States to participate in the Anytime Anywhere Learning program. Each student and teacher has their own laptop for use in class and at home. As one of the pioneers in this 1 to 1 laptop learning endeavor, Forest Ridge has almost two decades of experience implementing the latest technologies into the learning environment. As of Fall of 2008, all students and faculty were on the Tablet PC platform which allowed even richer educational experiences through inking capabilities, paperless assignments, and a more natural student interface. The school requires a standardized laptop for each student thus enabling more efficient and streamlined support for the 1 to 1 program. Forest Ridge has been using Lenovo Tablet PC computers since 2007.
