Welcome to the Home of the Eagles!
At Puyallup Online Academy (POA) we provide a dynamic, flexible learning environment tailored to meet the needs of diverse learners. Unlike the traditional school setting, our online platform empowers students to thrive in a way that suits their individual strengths and circumstances.
Our Objective
POA's primary objective is to offer an alternative learning environment for students and families seeking an experience beyond our traditional brick and mortar buildings. In this setting, we provide academic courses, virtual and in-person study halls, flexibility, autonomy, and opportunities for student independence, all while fostering social engagement in various activities for students and their families.
Who Might Benefit Most From Online Learning?
- Self-Motivated Learners: Students who take initiative and enjoy setting their own pace excel in our flexible structure.
- Independent Thinkers: If your student enjoys working independently and diving deep into subjects that interest them, they'll find the perfect balance of guidance and autonomy here.
- Students with Unique Schedules: Whether your child is pursuing athletic, artistic, or other extracurricular passions, our adaptable schedule allows them to balance academics and their goals seamlessly.
Program Schedule
Mondays and Thursdays are Teams classes for students to receive extra support.
Tuesdays and Fridays are in-person days at the Kessler Center.

Alternative Learning Experience (ALE)
Alternative Learning Experience (ALE) programs give students the flexibility to learn in a non-traditional setting.
The state requires that students in an ALE program demonstrate engagement by working diligently on their courses and make weekly reciprocal contact which occurs through weekly attendance.
Attendance Laws
While students have the ability to do most of their schoolwork at home to demonstrate progress, attendance is still a state requirement. After the second unexcused absence, state law requires that the school have a conference with the parent or guardian and the student to discuss the barriers to school attendance (State Compulsory Attendance Law, Section 28A.225.RCW).
We are committed to helping all students be successful. We are asking for your help so that we are meeting the state requirements for our ALE program and meeting the needs of all our students.
