Tour School/Informational Meeting

How do we learn more about Cascade Heights?

Our website contains basic information and links to get you started.  We strongly believe parents are the primary educators of their children, and a thorough exploration of the website will help you determine if you would like to learn more about the school.

Saturday Information Meetings

You will meet our Director, learn about charter schools, the history of Cascade Heights, see part of our curriculum as well as an introduction to the vision and mission of Cascade Heights.  We will also visit some classrooms.  Information Meetings are typically held on Saturday mornings when school is not in session.  Please call our office for the time and date of our next information meeting. Children are welcome to attend!

"Soar With Us" Tour

You may see our school in action during a one-hour “Soar with Us!” tour.  These tours are led by our Development Team and are designed to introduce community members to Cascade Heights.  In a Soar Tour you will hear stories of our success with children, learn about our mission and visit two or three classes in session.  Soar Tours are held the first Tuesday of the month at 8:30 AM and the third Wednesday of the month at 1:30 PM.  Please contact our office at info@chpcs.org or 503-653-1850  as space is limited, reservations are required.  Because we visit learning classrooms, we prefer children under six not attend.

After you have reviewed our website and attended either an Information Meeting or Soar Tour, you may have more specific questions about Cascade Heights or would like more time to examine our curriculum. We encourage you to  make an appointment to visit with our Director.  Questions pertaining specifically to your personal situation may be best answered this way.
