ETC understands that every mind learns differently



We provide alternative educational programs in order to meet our students’ individual learning needs. Our staff specializes in offering students and families a full range of instructional services to 1st through 12th grade students, delivered in a personal, customized, positive 1:1 or small group environment. We are a fully accredited, non-profit organization and are approved as a state of Washington Non-Public agency allowing school districts to contract with us for services to specialized students. For over 28 years ETC has been dedicated to helping students of all ages and abilities become confident, independent and lifelong learners.

Here are the services we provide:

  • Tutoring: Students engage in tutoring/supplemental instruction throughout the academic year. This program includes single subjects, on-task practice, organization habits, test-taking practice and executive skill function.
  • Full time and part time courses for credit: Full time options allow students to graduate from ETC Preparatory Academy. Students may also earn core or elective credit classes at ETC Preparatory Academy while maintaining part time enrollment at their home schools. Our curricula encompass AP and Honors level classes as well as alternative instruction for students with special learning needs.
  • SAT, ACT and ISEE and AP exam prep: Personalized test preparation is offered 1:1 or in small groups throughout the year Mock tests are a part of the preparation.
  • Speech and language therapy: Provided by licensed/certified Speech and Language Pathologists, we provide individualized support in language evaluation, articulation, expressive/receptive language development, reading comprehension/literacy development and social skill development..
  • Advocacy/Consulting: Consultation with an ETC coordinator is the cornerstone of every ETC program. Coordinators work closely with families to evaluate students’ learning needs, design individualized learning programs, advise on school placement decisions and monitor progress.
