Member districts include Bellevue, Issaquah, Lake Washington, Mercer Island, Northshore, Riverview, and Snoqualmie Valley.

Class Schedule
Year-long WANIC courses follow the school schedule for the district where the class is located, which may be different from your home high school's schedule. Classes at the WANIC Skills Center and DigiPen follow the Lake Washington School District calendar. Other school district calendars can be found at this link.
Business / Community Integration
WANIC constantly looks for ways to enhance the classroom learning experience for students and teachers by making connections to the "real world". Opportunities such as job shadowing, internships, mentoring, field trips, and guest speakers in the classroom are always needed.
