Northwest Allprep
Northwest Allprep (NWALLPREP) is a free public school located in the US state of Washington. Schooling may take place in various modes, and can include at-home learning, self-paced online curriculum, in-home teacher visits or dual (supplemental) high school and college credits.
NWALLPREP's core curriculum is web based, though students are required to complete some offline projects. Online curriculum for grades 3-12 is provided by the private OdysseyWare company.
NWALLPREP also offers an Early College Entrance Programme that allows academically qualified students to begin work on their college career while still in high school, earning college credits that apply to both the high school diploma and an associate's (community college) degree.
The school also offers NWAllprep International, a fee-based programme for students who do not live in the state of Washington.
