On Saturday March 31, 2012 we lost a friend and colleague, Dr. Owen White. Owen served as APL’s very first Advisory Board member and helped mentor and guide APL since day one. His research and publications have had a profound impact on the fields of special education and applied behavioral analysis. A prolific writer, Owen was writing a book for publication on the Practical Science of Education at the time of his passing. Our hearts go out to his wife and children. If you would like to write a tribute to Owen, please send it to Ilene Schwartz: Ilene@uw.edu.

APL uses high quality, data driven approaches – including Direct Instruction, Applied Behavior Analysis and Precision Teaching - to create individualized learning plans specifically designed for each student.

We are dedicated to ensuring every student’s success through accelerated academic progress, social development, character building and community involvement.

APL is located at the University Heights Center (www.uhcca.org) – a historic facility focused on the community, children, arts and education within the University District and the Greater Seattle area.

The Academy for Precision Learning admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
