The Pi Program is a state regulated Alternative Learning Experience (ALE), offered by Chimacum School District that specializes in building positive relationships with students and their family, creating strong community connections & meaningful experiential learning. Scheduled classes are typically multi-age and held 1-3 days a week on campus. Student plans include classroom activities as well as assignments completed at home with a parent or guardian. A fully remote option is also available.
