Frequently Asked Questions
Why do thousands of families enroll their children in online public school programs?
Online programs offer innovative, individualized, highly accountable, mastery-based online learning - often with a variety of traditional hands-on instructional materials and always with a Washington certified teacher.
Who Are The Teachers?
All teachers in any online public school program across our state are required to be Washington state certified. They closely manage their students' individual learning plans to make sure their students meet all academic, accountability and attendance requirements. Initial and ongoing assessments are required.
Is it "home-schooling" or a highly accountable public school program?
