How to Develop a Personalized Education Plan
Cascade Independent High School (CIH)
Cascade Independent High School was organized under the laws of Washington State in 1994 to provide a recognized and authorized education for students in grades 3 through 12. As a state authorized educational institution, CIHS is empowered to conduct teacher inservice training, award credit for courses completed and award diplomas to students completing all state requirements and EALR’s (Essential Academic Learning Requirements) in the state. CIHS, therefore, provides an education at least as rigorous and at least as complete as any other state certified high school, public or private, in Washington. Additionally, CIHS offers an extension program through which students may earn credits for work done independently, out of state, or utilizing alternative methods of instruction and evaluation. These credits may then be transferred to local institutions, or may lead to the completion of a diploma, earned entirely independently. CIHS must (and does) meet all state regulations and reporting procedures, and is re-certified annually by the state. (For further information regarding state certification, school standing or annual review, contact the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction—private school office, Old Capitol Building, Olympia, WA.)
We at Cascade Independent High School take delight in offering a personal and personalized education to each of our students. We believe that many of our students end up receiving the finest, broadest and most rigorous education in the state, possibly in the nation. Some of our students receive state and national scholarships and awards, and some go on to both academic and public acclaim. Naturally, we are pleased to have been able to work with them. We assure, via a personal interview with each graduate, that every student who completes his education with us has met or exceeded all requirements.
