We operate as an alternative school under WAC 392-121-182 Alternative Learning Experience Requirements.

We are a K-12 program designed to enroll students in Edmonds School District and outlying areas.

Edmonds Heights K-12 recognizes the parent as the primary teacher and works as a resource to the family to insure a high quality learning experience for each child consistent with the expectations of the student’s family and the Essential Learning’s established by the state Commission on Student Learning.

Once enrolled and oriented to the program, each student and their parents meet with a certificated staff member to review their personalized written student learning plan (WSLP). Thereafter parents meet face to face with their WSLP advisor three times yearly to review their student WSLP as well as enter monthly progress.

Each student is allocated a dollar amount for the purchase of curriculum materials and classes that is proportional to their enrollment date and enrollment level. All expenditures must be listed in the student learning plan as academic resources.
Edmonds Heights K-12 is open from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM five days a week. Our calendar runs on a semester schedule with school starting right after Labor Day and running through mid June.

Students enrolled in Edmonds Heights may choose from a wide variety of classes and workshops. For example, students may take language classes (currently Spanish, American Sign Language and Latin). Students also have the opportunity to participate in a variety of workshops in writing, math, science, art, music and more.

Students may also utilize computers in our technology labs or one of the many computers located in designated areas throughout the campus. All computers are connected to an internal network, the district’s network and provide access to the Internet.

Families wishing to enroll in Edmonds Heights K-12 must do the following:

**The next opportunity for enrollment is early November. Families who have already completed a tour of the program and are signed up for their Getting Started orientation for the fall will start meeting September 7th. If you are interested in enrolling in our program please attend a regularly scheduled tour and/or call the main office for more information**

General enrollment guidelines: Sign up for and attend a program orientation tour. Tours are conducted the first Tuesday of each month by a designated parent or Edmonds Heights K-12 staff member and will include a tour of the facility and discussion of the program.  For times of tours please call our office (425) 431-7840 ext 9. Following the tour all families will be given the opportunity to fill out a placement form for each child to begin the enrollment process to enter Edmonds Heights. For all in-district students, Edmonds Heights staff will review the placement form, and you may be given an enrollment packet for each child you wish to enroll. For students living outside the Edmonds School District we may have a waiting list so please check with the staff to see if we have openings available.

All new Families must complete an 8 week orientation course with an Edmonds Heights staff person. This orientation class meets one day a week for an hour and outlines our program policies and procedures, support for educating your student, and ensures a successful transition into our program. During the 8 week orientation period new students can be on campus, make use of our library and computer labs, and may take two on campus classes, as space is available. Education is taking place primarily at home and with the parent as the primary educator. After the 8 week orientation period new families may sign up for all other Edmonds Heights classes. If you have any questions about our new family orientation process please call the main office.
