I loved how creative and opportunistic SAAS was and i'm very sad to graduate. I would say the only thing I would change is making us do things on our own more to set us up for college.

This school says that they prepare students for college and life. I have found this to be untrue. If students are attempting to attend rigorous and prestigious institutions, the Seattle Academy work culture does not prepare you. It is extremely easy to get good grades without hard work or any actual learning.

They navigated virtual/remote, and then hybrid learning to the best of their ability. They were eager to get the student back in person. Sports seem to take priority over science/arts extracurriculars. Many class options and resources for students and exposure to new topics

SAAS is consistently one of the top 5 private schools in Puget Sound. The curriculum is challenging but fair and offers depth in science, technology, robotics, engineering, arts, and mathematics. Our son is a junior this year and the college counseling is top notch. Other than the cost of schools in...

I have a child who is creative yet struggles academically because of learning differences. SAAS'S learning support group (Mike Haykin is amazing) has gone above and beyond to help support my child along the way. Their understanding of children with differences and non-differences and their willingne...
