Rainier Valley Leadership Academy

"As an anti-racist collaborative community school of critical thinkers serving grades 6-12. We welcome all families and scholars with warmth, love, acceptance and respect. We recognize that all scholars and families come to us with an innumerable amount of assets and gifts; it is our responsibility to tap into those assets and cultivate scholars’ innate brilliance in a place that is safe to explore, grow, question, and lead.

We hold a high bar of excellence and rigor for our scholars and as a staff. We recognize that when we set goals for ourselves and our scholars, we also set up systems of support that make the goals accessible and attainable. When our scholars achieve their goals, no matter the size, we celebrate them loudly and proudly."
