Seattle Academy has 620 students. Annual tuition was $23,802 for the middle school and $24,990 for the high school during the 2010-2011 school year. The school consists of grades 6-12 and describes itself as a preparatory school whose mission is to "prepare students for college and life."
SAAS consists of five main buildings: the Temple building (the school still shares the same building with the Temple De Hirsch-Sinai), which houses the middle school; the Vanderbilt Building, the core of the Upper School; the Arts Center, which houses all math and art classes; the Gym, complete with a weight room, multiple exercise machines, and a basketball court (SAAS's gym is one of the largest school-owned gyms in the Seattle area); and the Cardinal Union Building, which houses some of the Upper School Humanities courses.

“I am not able to instruct you. I can only tell that I have chosen wrong. I have passed my time in study without experience; in the attainment of sciences which can, for the most part, be but remotely useful to mankind. I have purchased knowledge at the expense of all the common comforts of life: I have missed the endearing elegance of female friendship, and the happy commerce of domestic tenderness.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
