School Overview
Spiritridge is a thoughtful community that grows students academically, socially and emotionally through innovative and engaging learning. At Spiritridge we empower student voice, identity and values to create an inclusive learning environment. We are one of two Bellevue School District schools that house the Olympic Program, a special education program designed to support students with sensory, adaptive, and social emotional needs typically associated with the autism spectrum. We are committed to listening to, learning from, and leading with students, families, staff, and the community to meet the needs of each and every student.
