School Overview

The **Open Doors at LWIT** (Lake Washington Institute of Technology) program is an educational initiative designed to re-engage students who have dropped out of high school or are significantly behind in credits. Located at the LWIT campus in Kirkland, Washington, the program provides a supportive pathway for students aged 16 to 21 to complete their high school education while simultaneously exploring college-level coursework.

By integrating high school curriculum with the resources of a technical college, the program allows students to earn their diploma while gaining valuable career and technical education (CTE) experience. The goal is to provide a flexible, personalized learning environment that removes traditional academic barriers, helping students build both the credentials and the self-confidence necessary to transition successfully into post-secondary education or the modern workforce.

It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
