At Highline Academy, we meet every learner where they are and help them discover who they can become. We inspire them to realize their potential, capacity and strengths with intentional relationship building and challenging them to REACH IN, to REACH OUT, and to REACH UP everyday. We teach our students to REACH IN for personal growth and self-reflection; REACH OUT to support their fellow classmates and those in their communities with civic leadership; and to REACH UP to pursue an ongoing love of learning and to do their personal best academically. We prepare them for the diverse environments that await them in higher education, career, and life by creating an intentionally diverse school community with students coming from a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds, cultures and home languages spoken. Our students are taught to see the beauty in others and in themselves as valued members of our community and world.
