Federal Way · WashingtonWhy we are here
A school built for the community we call home.
South King County needs more caregivers — and it needs them trained well. We started this school to meet that need the right way: with a program built to Washington's standards, taught by people who've done the work, in classes small enough to know every student by name.
We took the time to earn approval from both the Washington State Board of Nursing and the Workforce Board before opening enrollment. That patience reflects the standard we expect in care — because the people our graduates will serve deserve nothing less.
Our measure of success is not simply course completion. It is whether students leave prepared to provide safe, respectful care when someone depends on them.
