KENT MOUNTAIN VIEW ACADEMY

Kent Mountain View Academy is a public school that is part of the Kent School District school district, located in Des Moines, WA with about 288 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 12th Grade. With about 16 teachers, Kent Mountain View Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 18:1. 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.

Kent Mountain View Academy (KMVA) is a unique public school within the Kent School District that serves students from kindergarten through 12th grade. The academy is structured as a parent-partner program, designed specifically for families who are interested in homeschooling or alternative educational models but wish to maintain a connection to the public school system. The curriculum is flexible, allowing parents to take an active role in their child’s day-to-day instruction while receiving support, resources, and oversight from certified teachers.

The school emphasizes a collaborative environment where home-based learning meets classroom instruction. Students at KMVA typically participate in a hybrid schedule, spending part of their week on campus for core classes, enrichment activities, or lab work, while completing the remainder of their studies at home under the guidance of their parents. By blending independent study with professional educational support, Kent Mountain View Academy offers a personalized academic experience tailored to the individual pace and learning style of each student.
