Huh? Where? Now you got my attention......I'm a WA native.
Holden Village on Lake Chelan. Technically it's on the wilderness boundary, so besides shipments of food by the ferry, we were self-sufficient. No phone except one emergency line, no internet (although I think they get cell signal now) and no TV.
I lived there for a year as a boarding student, which is a terrible term for what it was. It was not a fancy boarding school. Trust me.
Holden used to be a mining village and is now run by the ELCA (but open to anyone). Summers are busy with 300-400 people (staff and visitors). Winters are quieter with about 60-100 staff plus a few visitors and short term staff.
Everyone applies to be part of the community and had a job in the village. Since the village attracts families, they have a 'remote but necessary' school.
My year, there were 5 elementary school kids, two 7th graders, two 8th graders and I was one of 4 juniors. All four juniors were boarding students, so we lived there without our families, but with a sponsor who acted as our parent for the year. There were just two teachers in the school, one for elementary and one for 7-12 grade, plus a teacher's assistant.
The elementary kids had more of a schedule, but most of our schooling was self-taught with textbooks or with the help of someone from the community. My teacher and I worked through calculus together (he stayed a week ahead of me) and I did a music improve 'class' with a musician in the village.
Once a week, we'd decide as a group (everything was by consensus) what we'd want to do for PE and that would be our Friday afternoon. We could bike down to the lake, go on a hike, play frisbee golf, cross country ski or sled in the winter or do whatever else we all agreed on.
I could go on, but it was pretty freakin' awesome.
