Education CommunityPhoto of a person sitting alongside an airport runway, with small planes in the background.
Tacoma maintains a healthy mix K-12 schools with the Tacoma School District, including the Tacoma School of the Arts; private schools including Anne Wright, Holy Rosary, Charles Wright and Bellarmine Preparatory; and a higher education community that contains a variety of four-year, community and technical colleges. The educated, skilled and trained students graduating from these institutions within our workforce make our community vibrant, and they continue to compel businesses to locate or remain in Tacoma.
