PI PROGRAM

PI Program is a Title I public school that is part of the Chimacum School District school district, located in Chimacum, WA with about 63 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 3 teachers, PI Program has a student/teacher ratio of about 21:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The **PI Program (Port Townsend Independent/Peninsula Independent)** is an alternative educational model based in Chimacum, Washington, designed to support families who choose to homeschool or engage in independent study. Operating as a parent-partnered program, it bridges the gap between home-based instruction and the public school system. The program provides students with a personalized learning plan, access to specialized curricula, and a range of enrichment opportunities that supplement the work done at home, all while maintaining the flexibility and individual pacing that define the independent study experience.

By offering a blend of professional guidance and educational resources, the PI Program serves as a vital hub for local families seeking a structured yet non-traditional academic path. The program emphasizes community involvement and collaboration, connecting parents with resources and each other to foster a supportive learning environment. It is particularly well-regarded for its ability to help students achieve state academic standards while empowering them to pursue their specific interests and talents in a flexible, supportive setting.
