Impact is growing! We will be launching middle school with the first 6th grade class located on-site at Impact | Puget Sound Elementary in Tukwila in Fall 2026.
Applications for 6th grade are now open!
Overview
Impact Public Schools is expanding to offer a seamless path from Kindergarten through 12th grade.
We will start with 6th grade in Fall of 2026, housed in I|PSE, and grow grades until 12th grade in separate facilities.
This thoughtful approach is a quality-first choice that will allow Impact to continue to serve our scholars now by maximizing existing capacity, and launch secondary grades that truly excel from day one.
What Makes Impact's Middle School Different
A Strong Bridge To High School
Middle school is a critical foundation for future success. At Impact, we guide scholars through this transition by teaching both academic and everyday life skills like digital citizenship and financial literacy so that they feel ready and confident for high school and beyond.
Student Leaders from Day One
Our current 5th graders are stepping into leadership as Founding Ambassadors, working alongside school leaders to help shape the future of Impact Middle School. From selecting a mascot to designing uniforms and traditions, their voices matter.
Hyper-Personalized Learning
We’re building classrooms where every scholar gets exactly what they need. With two teachers supporting 90-minute Math and ELA blocks, scholars receive real-time, targeted instruction, powered by innovative tools and data.
Small, Supportive Advisory Groups
Each scholar is supported through a small advisory group of 7–8 peers, led by a dedicated advisor who stays with them over time. These groups meet daily to build strong relationships and focus on goal setting, organization, and social-emotional growth.
Clubs & Athletics that Spark Passion
Learning doesn’t stop at the end of the school day. Our after-school program offers a wide range of opportunities for scholars to explore their interests - from music production and debate to athletics and entrepreneurship experiences. We also believe in student leadership, with opportunities for scholars to launch and lead their own clubs.
See the Impact Difference
Our new middle and high school will be built on the same foundation that has already helped thousands of Impact scholars thrive. And through our Family Design Meetings, founding families are helping shape everything from school culture to clubs and life skills.
From intentionally small classrooms to rigorous academics and proven results, we’ve shown what’s possible when every child is known, supported, and challenged.
