School Overview

Summit Virtual Academy serves students across the Lacey area who need a flexible, non-traditional path to graduation — think working teens, students managing health challenges, or families who've found that a conventional classroom isn't the right fit. Lacey itself is a growing, family-friendly community just outside Olympia with easy access to parks, trails, and the state capital's resources, giving virtual learners plenty of ways to stay connected to the wider world. Academics here are on the lower end compared to other Washington schools, so families prioritizing rigorous coursework may want to weigh their options, but for students who need flexibility and a supportive alternative structure, Summit Virtual fills an important role in the district.
