MLO Program Options

Shared Mission & Vision Header

Our programs offer a wide range of options for grades K-12.

Please note: Families need to provide transportation to and from campus for any of our programs as bussing is not available.

If you are interested in enrollment in any of our elementary programs highlighted below, you may complete the MLO Interest Form to provide contact information for us to connect with you.

Although many of our programs serve families who want to teach their children at home, MLO programs are not legally "homeschool programs" because they operate under a different set of laws. Each MLO program is a Mead School District Alternative Learning Program that has been designed to serve parents who want a different model of education. 

We operate under the authority of the State of Washington and the laws pursuant to an alternative learning experience (ALE, WAC 392-121-182). All Mead Learning Options takes its responsibility for helping students reach their learning goals and objectives very seriously.

Alternative Learning Experience (ALE) programs are public education options where some or all of the instruction is delivered outside of a regular classroom schedule and we follow all public education requirements as well as chapter 392-121-182 WAC. On the other hand, homeschoolers provide home-based instruction and fall under a different set of laws including  RCW 28A.200.011(1)  RCW 28A.225.010(4) 

If you have any questions about any of our Mead Learning Options programs, please call us a 509-465-7700 or email MLO@MEAD354.ORG.
