Our Mission and Vision:
The Puyallup Open Doors community works collaboratively and intentionally to build relationships with all students and to recognize the value of both their educational and personal experiences as we prepare them for the next chapter in their life.
Puyallup Parent and Partnership Program inspires students' love for learning to provide an alternative learning experience for students and families to feel supported and encouraged as they guide their child’s learning.
The Puyallup Online Academy community, through digital learning and a relationship-driven approach, works to support students’ educational goals while providing preparation for college, career, and life.
Puyallup Digital Learning (PDL) is a fully accredited online school in partnership with the Puyallup School District. PDL provides a way for students to take classes over the Internet, learning at their own pace, on their own schedule, and primarily, in their own environment. Since it is part of the Puyallup School District, Puyallup Digital Learning is tuition-free for all students. Students may start at any time. Call or email for an appointment today.
With Puyallup Digital Learning, students have access to a wide variety of engaging classes. They earn a high school diploma from the Puyallup School District upon completing the program. Students have their own graduation ceremony in June.
Students enrolled in Puyallup Digital Learning are either in Puyallup Open Doors (POD) or Puyallup Online Academy (POA).
For both programs:
- Over 100 courses available, including core, hybrid, elective, advanced placement (AP), diagnostic, interventions, and credit retrieval.
