School Overview
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.
