The board will meet again in June and will consider approval of all remaining approval applications.

Certificates of Approval for the 2023 - 2024 school year will be available for download in the week following each board meeting. Certificates are posted as a bundle. You will be able to download and print your school’s certificate by scrolling through or using “ctrl-F”.
The Certificate of Approval demonstrates to the public that you are a private school approved by the State of Washington.
NEW! An official State Board of Education Web Badge is available to approved private schools. The Web Badge is a small image for your website to indicate that you are an approved private school. Please contact the private schools manager for your badge.
