Puget Sound Academic Center's main learning center is in Burien, WA.  They also have one in Sequim, WA and Clovis, California.   They officially opened in 2012 and have been affiliated with ANW ever since.

What is unique about this learning center is that they work with students desiring Entrepreneurial training.  Enrolled students will also be taught Emergency Preparedness and First Aid/CPR in addition to a work skill so that if life throws them a curveball, they have something to fall back on.  PSAC also works with homeschool families assisting with graduation ceremonies at home or on location for individual students.
