Interagency Academy
Interagency Academy is network of small, alternative high schools spread out across Seattle designed to support students who need different supports than comprehensive schools offer. We partner with community-based organizations and agencies to provide unique learning environments with targeted interventions. We are committed to working with every student, regardless of his or her past, and we believe that every student can grow and succeed if given the right support and encouragement.
Our Mission
Interagency Academy assesses each student’s unique qualities; challenges him or her to achieve educational, career, and social goals through personalized learning plans and collaboration with families and agency partners; and inspires each to become self-sufficient and a good citizen of the community.
