Olympia Regional Learning Academy

Olympia Regional Learning Academy is a solid choice for families in Washington's capital city who are looking for something a little different from a traditional school setting — the "regional learning" model tends to attract parents who want more flexibility and involvement in their child's education. English scores shine well above average, though math is an area to watch. Olympia itself has a distinct Pacific Northwest character, with a walkable downtown, strong arts and civic culture, and a community that tends to value independent thinking — making ORLA a natural fit for families already drawn to that lifestyle.
