The first step to enrolling at Ignite Family Academy is to take a school tour with our principal. During this time, you will learn more about our school, weekly and monthly student/family requirements to attend, and more!

Tours typically are held between the hours of 11-12:30pm and 3-3:30pm daily or all day on Fridays. Please contact the office at 360-412-4907 to schedule.

Every student is required to have a Statement of Understanding (SOU) on file. Below you can find the SOU and may print, sign, and bring on your tour. Or, we will have copies here for you to complete once you decide if Ignite is a good fit for your family.
