ETC/ETC Preparatory Academy is a non-profit 501(c) organization/school which provides
services on Mercer Island, Seattle and the greater eastside communities.
ETC/ETC Preparatory Academy abides by all federal anti-discriminatory laws in the
selection of our students, faculty and administrative staff.
Our founders set a precedent of working with educators and other professionals on
behalf of public and private schools. Our current structure includes a Board of
Directors, an Executive Director, and two academic directors who have extensive
training and experience in working with school districts, identifying student learning
needs, and designing effective, best practice instructional programs for students
at all levels of achievements.
Over 3500 students have completed courses at ETC Preparatory Academy since 1992.
Our student population represents an intellectually, ethnically and geographically
diverse population. Our hours of service are 7:30 AM-8:00 PM Monday-Saturday at
our main office and 7:00 AM-6:00 PM Monday-Friday at our offsite location (Holy
Trinity Lutheran Church, Mercer Island, WA.)
Our students receive tutoring or take classes for credit in a wide variety of subject
areas. Please see our full list of offerings under the “Services” menu.
We also offer an instructor-proctored homework session each day (Homework Hero).
Additionally, we are an approved test site for the non-standard administration of
the SAT and ACT.
Our large faculty includes three educators who are certified in Special Education,
and two licensed and certified speech and language therapists. All faculty members
have degrees (many holding advanced degrees and other certifications) and are recruited
for their merit in particular fields. All have undergone appropriate background
checks to ensure the safety of our students.
