The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology was initially established under the auspices of Western Seminary in 1997, becoming independent in 2000, and establishing itself in downtown Seattle in 2007. In 2011, the school changed its name from Mars Hill Graduate School to The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology.[1] The Seattle School has trained therapists, pastors, artists, leaders, and social entrepreneurs to be competent in the study of text, soul, and culture.[citation needed]
