At Rainier Scholars, we believe all students deserve the chance to go as far as their hard work and talent will take them. That’s why we crafted a comprehensive 12-year program starting in the fifth grade that provides access and opportunity by bringing together academic preparation, leadership development and personalized support for hard-working, low-income students of color. Our program has been designed to increase college graduation rates and empower new generations of leaders who reflect the diversity of our community. Our exceptional teachers and engaging curriculum ensure that our scholars develop skills for academic success and core values so they can excel in our program from elementary school to college, career and leadership.
