What makes Seattle Academy different from other private schools?

Seattle Academy stands out from other private schools because it blends academic challenges with creativity, innovation, and a serious sense of community. It’s a place where students aren’t just prepped for college—they’re encouraged to think big, speak up, take risks, and be themselves along the way. You’ll find dance studios next to science labs, student-led clubs thriving, and teachers who actually know their students. SAAS doesn’t do cookie-cutter learning. Instead, it prioritizes interdisciplinary thinking, real-world application, and a culture that celebrates curiosity and individuality. Add in its urban campus, strong arts programs, and commitment to inclusivity, and you’ve got a school that’s anything but ordinary.
