Private Schools

The annual Portland Christmas Revels are full of joy and festivities everyone is welcome to participate in. A must see for any who loves the Christmas tradition.

I have 2 children who attend CHA and I would absolutely recommend this school to other parents! The facility is clean and spacious with a large gym at the Meridian campus; small class sizes; the teachers are caring, educated, flexible; curriculum is fantastic -- for the toddler/preschool program, great balance between play and structured activities; they have Music Together incorporated within the week; Spanish and German language classes at the Meridian campus; I can go on and on about all the things I like about the place. The teachers communicate on a daily basis online with a summary of what my children did for the day - - and any concerns I have had have been appropriately address by the teacher/directors. I am extremely happy to know that my children are getting quality care and education.

What a great school for my kids. The teachers there are absolutely the best!! If you are shopping for a school P3-8th grade, take a tour and you'll be hooked too.

The German American School of Portland should be ranked as the Number One private school in Portland. Based on a diligent, holistic comparison of the top 10 private schools, I personally interviewed and screened at least the 5 I thought catered to the needs of a demanding mom like me; safety, discipline, teacher-student ratio, community culture, pricing, curriculum and alumni experience (not necessarily in that order). It came close to another school but I am so glad that I took the hit to forego a few hundred dollars in pre-reg and instead placed my son here in Kindergarten. After a year, my belief in the school is strengthened even more. This school "CARES" about your child. There is little hype. There are opportunities for families to get involved but not the pressure. It "RESPECTS" your time and your money. They are the best at what they do and yet not snobbish. And, everyone here "SMILES". Just down-to-earth, enthusiastic learning with some German added, to expand my child's intellectual horizons. I'm most grateful, and proud to be a part of it.

Incredible school, incredible people, extremely qualified teachers Also Jesuit XC is an extremely good program that produces insanely fast kids in an incredibly fun and tight-knit environment.

Such an amazing school! Best Pre K-8 School in Portland!

We love this school for our daughter! The magical combo of arts and challenging academics is turning my free thinker into an interested and engaged student in all subjects. She loves going to school everyday. Her teachers are amazing. It's a very inclusive place, and the downtown campus is teaching her how to confidently navigate in a city.

A wonderful centrally located school. Both of our daughters attend this school and I would strongly recommend it to anyone.

I went here for 6 years. This is just my experience. : This school gave me nothing but years of bullying, suicidal thoughts & actions. To start, the teachers did not care I was getting bullied. All those teachers knew about my situation, but chose not to do anything. On top of that, my kinder garden teacher was abusive (Adela). She dragged me and my friend through the classroom and into the hall, and finally in to the low k classroom. The one good thing I have to say is thank you Abbe, or Abbi, Abby, etc. You are awesome, and you should leave and teach at a different school.

I looked at several day care locations near my home for my young daughter. When I learned about ILA I realized there was a way I could keep my daughter safe, engaged, and educated during the day and at a reasonable price. It was the best decision I have made and I cannot recommend it enough. Learning a second language at a young age has both short and long term benefits and is something that no other day care can offer.

Searching for preschools. I called this place three times and was hung up on repedley. Does not seem very professional.

I currently work here and love it. Great classrooms, clean facility, a large backyard play area, tasty meals for the kids, and very kind co-workers .

The community and staff are dedicated to each student and their family without limit. The new principal, Mrs. Buich, and backed Fr. John, pioneered the recent 1:1 device program and was the key to bringing technology stability to building that had been lacking for so long. I've found the dedication and joy beaming from each student in this school to be contagious to anyone to enters and I'm proud to have been included.

pshh tomorrow is first dy ever at school there..

I highly recommend Horizon Christian Schools for anyone searching for a Christian School in southwest Portland. The school offers small class sizes, athletics, rigorous curriculum, biblical teaching, twice yearly testing for academic development, opportunities to excel in leadership and much more. My kids have attended since kindergarten and now are in the middle school and 5th grades.

We couldn't have found a better preschool for our kids. The teachers and staff are incredible. They fully prepare students for kindergarten in a fun and creative environment. St. Paul builds a strong foundation for a future of learning.
