Tours
We’d love to meet you and show you around SAAS! Campus tours are available in a few different ways, depending on the time of the year.
- Spring Preview Tours - April to June, we host a few small group tours, with morning and afternoon options, for families researching schools for the coming admissions season. Registration for those events can be found on Ravenna. Ravenna is a website used by most of the Seattle area independent schools and will be the place families can explore schools and manage their applications. Families will see these event options after you find “Seattle Academy” in the Ravenna School Directory and click “See Upcoming Events”. You do not need to start an application to register for spring tours.
- Fall Open Houses - Each fall SAAS hosts a Saturday Open House event in October and November that will include campus tours. Registration for Open Houses can be found on Ravenna after the new admissions season opens at the beginning of September. Families will then see these event options after you find “Seattle Academy” in the Ravenna School Directory and click “See Upcoming Events”. You do not need to start an application to register for Open House events.
- Visit Days - Families engaged in the application process will have a visit day experience which includes a campus tour option for students and parents/guardians. Registration for Visit Days can be found on Ravenna after a family submits the first part of their application.
- Virtual Tour - For families navigating the application process from out of town or for anyone looking to get a sense of campus before they are able to see it in person, please check out our Virtual Tour anytime.
Open Houses
We look forward to meeting you! Each fall we host SAAS Open House events that include an opening program where you will hear from SAAS leadership, students and faculty. There will also be time for follow-up questions in areas of interest, and a campus tour. Typically open houses are on Saturdays, with one in October and November.
Registration will open in September and is required through our online application platform Ravenna. You do not need to start an application to register for the Open House. Families will see these event options after you find “Seattle Academy” in the Ravenna School Directory and click “See Upcoming Events”.
If you have any questions, please reach out to admissions@seattleacademy.org.
SAAS Leadership Coffees
For families engaged in the application process, there will be a Visit Day experience. After parents/guardians drop off their students, they have the option to stay and engage directly with some members of the school’s leadership team. While these discussions are not a required step in the admission process, it is an excellent opportunity for parents/guardians to learn more about our values, our educational philosophy, and any other items on your mind. These sessions will be in an interactive Q & A format. We will chat for an hour, however parents/guardians can join or depart the session to meet individual schedule needs.
Learning Support Town Hall
This program-specific Town Hall is designed for prospective families who want to learn more about our Learning Support option, Study Skills classes, and accommodations process. This event will include a Q & A panel consisting of members of our Learning Support team.
- We will have an Upper School and Middle School Townhall, and they typically happen in December. Exact dates and times to be determined.
- These are virtual and will be through the online Zoom meeting platform.
- Please register on Ravenna for the event link. Registration will open after September.
- You can read more about our Learning Support program on the SAAS website here.
Families of Color Community Conversation
At SAAS, we have affinity groups for students and families that meet throughout the year. We invite you to join us for this event as an extension of our family affinity groups. This Q & A Panel is specifically for families and students who identify as People of Color, to have an opportunity to connect with current SAAS families and students who share this identity.
- Time: Typically December. Exact dates and times to be determined.
- These are virtual and will be through the online Zoom meeting platform.
- Please register on Ravenna for the event link. Registration will open after September.
