Bellevue Discovery Family Partnership

You and your student will work with our team to design an individualized student learning plan that represents 28 hours of learning activities each week. This plan will blend in-person classes and/or online classes from the Discovery Family Partnership with home-based learning activities. Each plan will include weekly student contact with a Discovery Family Partnership Teacher for at least one hour. The exact blend of program class hours and home-based learning hours is personalized to your student, their learning needs, and the flexible learning environment needed for your family.

Yes, our program is open to students living anywhere in Washington state. Families who are too far away to attend in-person classes may build a fully online schedule blended with home-based education as needed to meet student needs.

Specific class schedules and class registration timelines will posted online in the spring.

Some students may qualify for special education services through an Individualized Education Plan (IEP). Specific accommodations and modifications are determined through meetings with our special education teacher and your student’s IEP team, of which you are a member. If your student has an IEP or has qualified previously for special education, we encourage you to reach out to us to start the conversation.

A community space for families is available during campus open hours. Families may use this space to wait while their student is in class, or for their student to work on projects from non-campus based classes. Learning Lab spaces and materials are available for enrolled families to access during campus open hours if a class is not using the space.

Families may drop -off their student for class, but outside of their enrolled hours, the student must be supervised by a family member or other designated adult.

Students enrolled in the Bellevue Family Partnership are public school students in Bellevue School District. Your family does not file an Intent to Homeschool when enrolled in this program. Each student will follow an individualized Student Learning Plan, created by their family in partnership with the program staff, which will reflect 28 hours of learning activities each week, with one hour minimum being a program-based class with a Bellevue School District Certificated Teacher. We support students and families in achieving the 28 hours by centering flexibility and innovation to validate student learning in creative ways.
