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 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
