K5 Assemblies are your Friday feel-good!

Our Story

Celebrating over 40 years of joyful discovery, Gig Harbor Academy takes advantage of the natural questions that arise in a child’s expanding life experiences and turns that curiosity into educational opportunities. Gig Harbor Academy created a unique culture where educational professionals and parents collaborate to ensure academic rigor and social success. Teachers know each child’s strengths and tailor the curriculum so achievements can be measured in individual growth, allowing children to get lost in learning…not in the crowd. All of this takes place on a ten-acre campus, bordered by wetlands, where children are engaged in environmental awareness, stewardship, and natural observations.
