Pres has been such an amazing place for me to grow and find what I love. The small, all-girls environment made me feel super supported and encouraged to try new things. Whether it's diving into STEM subjects or taking on leadership roles, Pres has helped me find my passions all while giving me great memories and opportunities!

— Aanya Bhasin, Class of ‘25

At Presentation, I found a perfect blend of rigorous academics and unwavering support from faculty. The small school atmosphere helped me build strong connections with other students and teachers and gave me the confidence to take on challenging subjects. This supportive environment was key to my personal and academic growth.

— Marcella Johnson, Class of ‘26

The biggest advantage of an all girl's school is that a lot of Pres girls pride themselves on being both academic and social, so you get inspired to become a leader, scholar, and friend to everyone!

— Grace Hau, Class of ‘25

In college, I feel confident in myself and my ability to succeed in all my endeavors. My gratitude for this feeling is owed to Pres. I feel empowered as a woman, coming from an all girls environment, and I truly learned how to advocate for myself and embrace every opportunity in college due to the motivation and drive Pres instilled in me.

— Anika Gowda, Class of ‘22,
at University of Washington

Presentation was absolutely the right choice for our daughter and for us. She’s found a great community of friends and has enjoyed a variety of activities that have also given her a chance to develop her leadership skills. We love that she’s had the opportunity to thrive both academically and socially, and know that Pres has prepared her well for the next stage of her life.

— Amy Martin, Parent ‘25
