Seattle Academy is a vibrant and exciting place to go to school. Students develop a foundation for the future through learning in a Culture of Performance taking risks in front of a variety of audiences, combining disparate skills in moments of action in order to learn and communicate complex ideas.
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.
At Seattle Academy, we encourage students to try new things and engage in a variety of experiences in order to facilitate personal growth and build community. And we provide lots of support along the way!
With your support we are able to create the best environment for our students to learn, grow, and thrive, and we thank you!
