School Overview

Goldendale sits in the high desert of Klickitat County, a quiet corner of Washington where the Columbia River Gorge meets wide-open ranchland — and Washington Connections Academy offers families here a fully online alternative to traditional schooling. It's a solid choice for families in rural Klickitat County who want the flexibility of home-based learning without giving up access to a structured curriculum, and the school's science scores stand out noticeably above its other subjects. Families drawn to wide skies, outdoor independence, and a tight-knit rural lifestyle will find this a practical fit, especially if a long bus ride to a brick-and-mortar school isn't the right answer for their kid.
