Since Seattle Academy was founded, the arts have played a central role in our school’s identity. We believe that every student is intrinsically creative.

Community Action

The Seattle Academy Service Learning program helps prepare students to be engaged, reflective, and productive contributors in a changing world.

Life at Seattle Academy is beyond what happens in the classroom. We are home to a vibrant community of students pushing themselves in areas of interest, trying new things, taking risks, and building meaningful relationships.
