To fulfill our ambitious mission, we employ the following strategies:
Provide an academically challenging, content-rich, liberal arts curriculum that holds high expectations for all students. Develop strong critical-thinking skills in all students. Provide a safe environment where all students are known, respected, and valued as individuals of great potential. Establish an environment that models and encourages character development, respect for diversity, and a sense of responsibility towards community.

Highline Academy will accomplish this through a content-rich, sequential curriculum; a safe, disciplined environment; teacher-directed instruction; differentiated instruction in core subjects; and a curriculum that includes a focus on character development and respect for diversity.
