Curriculum at SAAS

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.
Arts
Creativity is a Life Skill

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.
Athletics
Not all poetry is on paper
Seattle Academy Athletics offers an inclusive, no-cut program that invites students of all skill levels to participate in our team sports offerings. At the same time, we’re just as passionately committed to supporting excellence, fielding teams that operate at the highest level of competition or performance.

Application Steps

We believe the application process should be reflective of the school’s culture. At Seattle Academy, that means an intentional focus for making this experience feel personal and rooted in building community. One of our guiding principles is “Know the Kid” and that process begins as soon as we meet you. We look forward to starting that conversation!

2025-26 School Year: Applications will open in September 1, 2024.
