Highline Public Schools Virtual Academy

Highline Public Schools Virtual Academy serves families in the Burien area who prefer a flexible, home-based learning environment over a traditional classroom setting — think military families, kids with health needs, or households that simply thrive with more control over their schedule. Burien itself is a diverse, unpretentious corner of King County just south of Seattle, with easy access to the city but a quieter, more affordable feel. Academic outcomes here sit below the state midpoint, so families considering this option may want to weigh whether the virtual format is the right fit for their child's learning style and whether additional support resources are in place.
