Inclement Weather Policy:  If Tacoma School District schools are closed, then FILA will also be closed.

FILA is a wonderful learning environment. I get to share my passions with the students and we learn and grow together. The school is well organized and efficient. But what keeps me coming back are the wonderful friendships with other homeschool families who support me and my kids. We are a part of a tribe that I am proud to be a part of.
