Academy Schools will begin the school year in a new Tukwila location.

The elementary division, Children's Academy, was founded in 1995 by Camille Cummings and a small group of educators. Their first Kent location was outgrown in 2006 and the school moved to downtown Kent.

The next two years saw the formalization of the middle and high school division, The Cummings School, named for the school's founder.

On Sept 1, Academy Schools began their 15th school year. Moving to the new Tukwila location at 14601 Interurban Avenue South, affords the school greater opportunity for expansion and program development.

Academy Schools serves children from early childhood through grade 12. The faculty and staff are excited about the opportunities for growth and expansion the new location will provide.
