School Overview

Stillaguamish Valley School (SVS), located in Arlington, Washington, is an alternative school program within the Arlington School District that offers a unique "parent-partnership" model. Designed for families seeking more direct involvement in their child’s education, the school functions as a hybrid learning environment where students receive a personalized curriculum. It caters to a diverse range of learners by combining structured on-site instruction with independent study, allowing parents to act as primary co-educators under the guidance and support of certificated teachers.

The school emphasizes a flexible, student-centered approach that fosters academic growth within a close-knit, supportive community. By prioritizing individualized learning plans, SVS allows students to progress at their own pace while maintaining state-mandated educational standards. This model is particularly appealing to families who desire a customized educational experience that balances the resources of a public school district with the autonomy and personalized focus often associated with homeschooling.
