Federal Way
Public Academy
Information Night
December, 2024
Dear 5th Grade Students, Parents and Guardians,
The Federal Way Public Academy (FWPA) staff and I would like you to join us at our annual “Information Night” to explore the challenging educational option our school has to offer.
FWPA is a school in the Federal Way Public School District which provides students a rigorous and challenging academic program. The school’s mission is to provide a college preparatory curriculum for students in grades six through ten. We are proud of our levels of high achievement and the success of our students.
FWPA has been a popular choice for parents who seek a college preparatory education in a small school setting for their child. Enrollment at FWPA is approximately 300. About 60 sixth grade students will be selected in a random drawing, and applicants for grades 7 through 10 will be drawn and given a waitlist number.
