Our Focus at Whatcom Academy

Individualized Support Through Small Class Sizes

We maintain small class sizes to enable teachers to provide personalized, one-on-one instruction, ensuring that every student receives the attention they need to succeed.

Our curriculum is designed to be rigorous and engaging, pushing all learners to achieve their highest academic potential through high expectations and meaningful instruction.

We foster a nurturing environment where core values such as perseverance, excellence, integrity, honesty, and respect are consistently taught and modeled.
We cultivate a safe, inclusive space where every child feels valued and respected, regardless of their culture, ethnicity, or ability.
We model and encourage students to take risks, ask thoughtful questions, and engage openly in discussions to develop their confidence and critical thinking skills.
We partner closely with families to support academic growth by guiding reading practices and homework routines, fostering learning both in and out of the classroom.



What Our Families Are Saying

“My student has come home excited to tell me what they’ve learned that day in school. They seem to really like the small class size.”

“My child was falling behind in the public schools and was not getting the one-on-one support he needed. Now he has been making great progress and seems to be enjoying school again.”

“I didn’t like the mandates that the public schools were teaching to our children, so I really appreciate that Whatcom Academy is free from political agendas and are focused on educational services.”

“I like that I get to learn with my friends who are in different grades. It is fun to get to do things together.”

“The teachers at the school have gotten to know each student individually, and each child is taught at their level. This practice has helped my student succeed and feel valued.”
