Students will come to on-site school on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8:50 to 2:20 (Ellensburg High School's 2nd - 6th periods).   Students will take math, English and an elective during the first three periods of the day, and participate in an advisory class during the last two periods of the day.  During advisory time, students will work on independent and group projects, update student learning plans and plan for and process their leaving to learn time.  On Wednesdays, high school students will be off campus for "leaving to learn" time.  At the start of the school year, this will be time to complete pre-internship work, do group community service projects with their teachers, and work on independent project.  As the year progresses, this will be time that students are expected to be on job shadows, internships or mentored projects.  If we offer a middle school program next year, this will be time spent on community service and independent projects both on campus or as a group field trip.

Our application for the 2023-2024 school year is available here.  We anticipate having 25-30 spots open in grades 9-12.  We may be able to add a middle school program if we have 20 students interested in attending.  If you are interested in a middle school program, or if you have any questions, please contact Cee Szombathy at cee.szombathy@esd401.org or 509-925-8182.
