About
Who We Are.
At Cascades Academy we believe that learning how to learn is just as important as learning the answers. We are seeking to develop a lifelong love of learning in our students.
Academics
Where Information Meets Inspiration.
With 18 students per class on average, classes are large enough to encourage an energetic exchange of ideas, yet small enough to allow for individual attention.
Community
Where Every Child is Known and Valued.
In a world where it takes a village to raise a good human, we are your village. We are a supportive network of inspired students, talented teachers, and involved families.
Experiential Learning
Where Learning Comes to Life.
Research shows that this kind of active, experiential learning supports creativity, problem solving and a deeper understanding that endures beyond test day.
Arts & Tech
Preparing Students for the Demands of 21st Century.
The nexus of creativity and critical thinking is at the forefront of demands from the 21st century graduate and they are at the core of our dynamic educational program.
Athletics
Not Your Typical PE Program.
Whether rock climbing or hitting the slopes at Mt. Bachelor, Cascades Academy students are active and outdoors as much as possible.
- Ski & Snowboard Program
- Team Sports

Family Business Marketplace

The Cascades Academy Family Business Marketplace allows Cascades Academy families and friends to advertise their businesses on the school's website, in the school directory published each fall, and in the weekly email newsletter.

For an annual fee of $250, families and friends have the ability to promote their businesses to fellow Cascades Academy families and the greater Bend community. We are proud to have so many entrepreneurs in our community and the opportunity to share information in an easily accessible manner. Our hope is that this will be a mutually beneficial directory: families can patronize fellow Cascades Academy family businesses, and those businesses will benefit from the additional visibility and advertising. In addition, businesses who have often looked for a way to support the school now have an easy pathway to do so. Simply complete this form to sign up! If your business was listed for the 2017-18 school year, please complete the form noting any information that has changed.

Funds generated by this program go to support the school's operating budget, and along with the Annual Fund and auction, help us to cover salaries and benefits, program costs, and other operating expenses. For any questions about the Family Business Marketplace, please contact Caitlin Ciannella.
