Mid-Columbia Parent Partnership

The Mid-Columbia Parent Partnership (MCPP), located in Kennewick, Washington, is an alternative educational program designed for families who choose to homeschool or engage in personalized, home-based learning. As part of the Kennewick School District, the program acts as a bridge between the district's academic resources and the flexibility of a parent-directed education. It provides students with access to district-approved curriculum, instructional materials, and guidance from certificated teachers, ensuring that students meet state learning standards while maintaining the autonomy of a home-school environment.

The program emphasizes a collaborative approach where parents serve as the primary facilitators of their child’s learning, supported by the professional expertise of MCPP staff. Through the partnership, students often participate in a blend of independent study and on-site workshops, classes, or enrichment activities that foster social connections and academic growth. By providing a structured yet customizable framework, the Mid-Columbia Parent Partnership offers a unique educational pathway for families seeking a balance between rigorous public school oversight and the individualized pacing of at-home learning.
