School Overview

The Cascade Parent Partnership Program (CPPP), located in the Queen Anne neighborhood of Seattle, is a unique alternative learning program within the Seattle Public Schools district. Designed for students in grades K–12, the program operates on a "parent-partnership" model, which blends traditional classroom instruction with extensive home-based learning. It is specifically structured for families who want to take an active, hands-on role in their child’s education while still benefiting from the resources, curriculum support, and community structure of a public school.

In this model, students attend on-site classes for a portion of the week, while parents facilitate a structured home-school curriculum during the remaining days. Teachers at Cascade act as "consulting teachers," providing individualized learning plans, monitoring student progress, and collaborating closely with parents to ensure academic standards are met. This hybrid approach offers families a flexible, personalized educational environment that prioritizes strong family-school communication and a collaborative community atmosphere.

* Charter Schools: A public charter school is a publicly funded school that operates independently under a legislative contract (or "charter") with a state, school district, or designated authorizing entity. Charters grant these schools greater operational flexibility over curriculum, staffing, and budgeting in exchange for strict accountability to achieve performance standards established in their charter agreement.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
