Where does the name “Insight” come from?
To gain insight is to find the true nature of something, to find an answer to a difficult question. Insight School of Washington works with students for whom traditional high school is not the best setting. It helps students find insight into how they can succeed in their own education given their own personal aspirations and abilities.
The emphasis on the ‘I’ in our logo represents four things. First, it represents our principle of the celebration of the individual and the uniqueness in each individual’s abilities, dreams, and history. Second, it symbolizes the fact that our program is delivered over the Internet. Third, it relates to our program being a self-directed, fully supported, independent study program. Finally, it represents interaction in our courses, between students, and between families.
