Highline Homeschool Center
We are a homeschool enrichment program designed to provide enrichment classes in an academic setting that supports homeschooling families and enhance their education.
We encourage you to visit our center to:
- Learn about homeschooling in Washington state.
- Get advice from other homeschooling families.
- Observe a class including art, sewing, math, science, creative writing, history, geography, sign language and Spanish.
- Participate in educational and fun field trips.
- Get help enrolling in Running Start
We welcome and support all students and families. Our center is a safe space where all students are treated with kindness.
