hen Tamaura enrolled her youngest daughter, Mailia, at Seattle Nativity School, she hoped for a fresh start. In elementary school, Mailia struggled to read and retain information, and despite modifications made for her, progress was painfully slow. Teachers often misunderstood her needs, leaving Tamaura exhausted from advocating alone. Everything changed the day they received their acceptance letter to Seattle Nativity.
“...small steps that grew into big transformations.”
From the very first summer program, Mailia began to shine. She practiced smiling, raising her hand, and making friends small steps that grew into big transformations. With the support of dedicated teachers like Mrs. Rice and Ms. Andre, Mailia blossomed from shy and hesitant into a confident leader. By eighth grade, she was mentoring new students, speaking up in class, and even earning Student of the Month. She discovered a love for science and announced she wanted to be a teacher one day.
For Tamaura, the shift was life-changing. Her quiet, uncertain daughter had become a vibrant, outspoken young woman who loved school and embraced leadership. At home, their relationship deepened. They laughed more, talked more, and shared real conversations. Seattle Nativity unlocked Mailia’s potential and gave her family hope for a brighter future.
reks, parent of twins,David and Daniel, and younger sibling twins, Nicole and Nickson, found Seattle Nativity School to be a transformative place for her family. Nativity’s welcoming environment, small classes, and Jesuit values helped her children flourish academically and personally. From quiet students, David and Daniel grew into confident, responsible young leaders who mentor their peers and contribute to the community. Nicole and Nickson grew exponentially as students and leaders.
David,
“...Jesuit values helped my children flourish academically and personally.”
Seattle Nativity’s support extended beyond academics, providing practical assistance, like Christmas gifts and food resources, providing stability to Erek’s family during difficult times. Close relationships with teachers gave her children individualized attention and helped build strong moral foundations. “It’s like a family,” she said, explaining how her children feel safe and supported, with access to teachers, due to small class sizes. This supportive community prepares students academically as they form them to be committed, good citizens.
With David and Daniel in high school and Nicole and Nickson preparing for high school and beyond, Ereks credits Seattle Nativity for their readiness, integrity, and gratitude for the opportunities they have received. The school’s mission to provide a high quality education and community has made a lasting difference in her family’s life.

FFor Edith and Juan, choosing Seattle Nativity School for their daughters, Aileen, Nativity Class of 2016, and Mia, Nativity Class of 2025, transformed their children’s futures and their family life. They wanted their children to have an education that was not available to them, knowing that education was deeply personal and that no circumstance could ever take this power away.
“Graduation was joyous ... a celebration of all of the kids and families!”
The commute to school was longer, but Edith and Juan felt peace of mind knowing their girls were physically and emotionally safe, surrounded by caring teachers, and provided for each day, giving their family a sense of security.
From the start, education was the top priority for Juan and Edith. Aileen excelled, often helping her classmates grasp difficult concepts, while Mia grew in confidence and personal discipline. Nativity’s values of respect, structure, and academic rigor shaped both girls in powerful ways.
The Nativity foundation opened doors. Aileen thrived at Seattle Preparatory School and Gonzaga University, where she modeled leadership and service by choosing a career focused on helping others. Today, she continues to mentor Mia, who continues her education at Seattle Preparatory School, and is now exploring her passion for coding with confidence using skills fostered at Nativity.
Edith and Juan reflect that Nativity provided the nourishment their daughters needed to grow, opened doors to new opportunities, and strengthened their family’s bond in lasting ways.
In 2016, Aileen was part of Nativity’s inaugural graduating class. In 2025, Mia, graduated from Nativity in the tenth graduating class.
raduate Support is an essential aspect of Seattle Nativity School. Graduate Support is available to every student who has ever enrolled at Nativity.
