High School Options in Vancouver

The schools in SW Washington are one of the great parts of living in Vancouver.  While most people know about the quality of the "standard" schools, not as many know about some of the magent programs available offer a more specialized educational experience.  Here are a few of the opportunities available:

  • Vancouver School of Arts and Academies - located at the historic Shumway Middle, VSAA has been providing an art focused education to middle schoolers and high schoolers in the Vancouver School District since 1996.  You can read more about the school on their website: http://arts.vansd.org/
  • Vancouver iTech - this magnet emphasizes science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in its curriculum.  It uses problem solving and critical thinking to prepare students for real world situations.  Admission to the school is lottery based, intended to mirror the overall demographics of Vancouver School District. iTech Website 
  • Clark County Skills Center - a joint program with 8 school districts, the CCSC provides practical training in areas such as health/medical, construction, engineering, criminal justice, hospitality, and many other fields.  http://www.ccskillscenter.com/

Knowing the education options available is one of the ways I help educate buyers, particularly those moving to Vancouver from outside the area.  If you are looking for a home in SW Washington and want to work with an agent that will make the process simple, give me a call!
