The classes at Seattle Country Day School are question based, so it gives the students a more enveloping learning experience with the classes. In 7th and 8th grade, students get to have "off campus PE", where they go to different places off of campus, such as SANCA (School of Acrobatics and New Circus Arts) and skiing every Friday in the winter.
The students at SCDS have a DI (destination imagination) team that also involves students from Lakeside School and SAAS (Seattle Academy of Arts and Sciences). They compete with other schools and just last year they went to World Competitions.
The average class size is 10-15 students.
