Summary: Our boarding program (grades 9-12) celebrates a community of 60 students from around the world. The smaller size of our boarding program has enabled our day and boarding students to become a closely-knit community. Our dorm students are supported by a caring group of adults consisting of dorm “parents” (faculty), dorm heads and the Director of Residential Life. The dorm adults offer activities for students that often embrace the outdoor pursuits of the Pacific Northwest (canoeing, hiking, rock climbing, surfing, and skiing) and take advantage of the vibrant cultural scene of Portland, Oregon (restaurants, music and sporting events like NBA games).LOCATION-15 minutes to downtown-25 minutes to airport-close to Cascade Mountains & Oregon Coast-ideal climate (4 seasons with mild winter)
