Internet Academy

Internet Academy is Federal Way's fully online public school, designed for students who thrive outside the traditional classroom — think self-motivated learners, student athletes with demanding schedules, or kids who just do better setting their own pace. Federal Way itself is a diverse, working-class suburb south of Seattle with a tight-knit community feel, and this school serves families across the district who need flexibility that a brick-and-mortar setting can't offer. Academic outcomes here tend to be modest, so families who go this route often supplement with outside enrichment, but for the right student, the independence it offers can be genuinely valuable.
