Interagency Programs

Interagency Programs, located at 2445 3rd Ave S in Seattle, is a unique educational division within the Seattle Public Schools system designed specifically to serve students who may not be successful in a traditional comprehensive high school environment. Unlike a typical neighborhood school, Interagency operates as a network of small, specialized learning sites situated throughout the city. These programs are often co-located with community-based organizations, mental health facilities, or social service agencies, allowing the school to provide a highly integrated approach to education that prioritizes student stability, emotional well-being, and individual credit retrieval.

The primary mission of Interagency is to offer a flexible and supportive pathway to graduation for youth facing significant barriers, such as homelessness, involvement in the justice system, mental health challenges, or those who have previously disengaged from school. By maintaining small class sizes and fostering close relationships between students and staff, the program aims to remove the obstacles to academic progress. The curriculum is tailored to meet students where they are, focusing on personalized learning plans that help them earn their high school diplomas while also providing vital connections to social support services, ensuring they have the resources needed to succeed both inside and outside the classroom.
