Private Schools

I went here a couple months a go, you should know my sister, ANNA, ADEN

Great school

Wow! This school actually lives out its mission statement ! This is an excellent atmosphere, which can be rare in Christian schools today, because it embodies both, solid- truth content with a standard, as well as genuine grace. It is refreshing to see a healthy balance lived out in a school setting. The unique half-day, 8-noon, M-Fri. model is a finance-saver as well as a practical time asset. It allows children to be a part of extra activities after school, such as speech club , swimming, skiing. etc, or serving in their community; all with margin leftover for childhood fun. Their 1-2 hours of homework is so do-able for their schedules. They take pride in owning their own work, since it is so well laid-out and organized for them by their teachers. Children are set up to succeed. Great field trips fuel the excitement too; 5/6th loved the art museum and 3rd/4th were enamored with the rock museum. As a former public school teacher for 15 years and homeschooling mom of classical curriculum for 6 years, I have critiqued the classes/conduct of these children and found them to be genuinely honorable, admirable, academically unmatched, and simply just appealing to be around. There is undoubtedly enthusiastic evidence of both, truth and love. Teachers here are, competent, consistent, and compassionate in their effort to support parents training children up in the admonition of the Lord. It is refreshing to see kids be set free to learn; experiencing joy in the classical classroom. Gregarious, belly-gut laughter can be heard in their morning recitations. The respect throughout the school is magnetic. Recess is the most "telling" of all, as that is when a person can see the true character of a child, plus the principles he/she has been taught, in use, by choice. Show me any other school where 6th grade boys play self-controlled and kindly with kindergartners, all of their own volition. May our Holy God lavishingly pour his blessings on Paideia, as only He can. May zealous "Paideians" shine like stars, piercing the darkness with light, in both their private and public lives for for all this generation to witness ! And...may whoever reads this, come observe for yourself .

I went to school there and I was one of the teen girls that got really bad frost bite.i was left in the woods for a whole week and made to hike every day till I couldn't walk anymore. I had to be carried to the car and brought back to their office in bend or. Instead of the hospital. They put me in a room for 8 hours in extreme heat to thaw out (as they said) made me take a burning hot shower against my will. I turned so many different colors u would think I was a Gothic rainbow. Finally after my screams and continued tears and asking for my dad they brought me to the hospital. I was 5'9" weighing about 79-85 pounds when I was in the hospital. I was in a wheelchair for 6 months had to learn how to walk again. I had a lawsuit going but when my dad past away they closed my case. My feet are in extreme pain all the time . Especially if it rains. I have no pain management. I lost everything I was because of that school and when we were about to settle my case my dad past and I got nothing. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. THIS EFFECTS MY DAILY LIFE I HAVE TO CALL OUTTA WORK SOMETIMEs. My boyfriend has to carry me to the restroom to go pee because I can't walk sometimes. I cry like a baby. This happened when I was 13 in Jan of 2002 and I'm 28 now and the pain is getting worse not better. My dad paid them money for me to go their and they were to cheap to provide the right gear for being out in the wilderness.

Friends rave about this school to me. Really impressed with the middle school IB program.

My oldest boy finished 8 years at St. Francis of Assisi School and recently finished his first year in high school with great success academically, socially and in sports. I've currently got two more kids at St. Francis and they enjoy the attention that comes with smaller sized classes. Great school.

What an amazing school!!! This is our third year at Eastmont Community School and we feel blessed to be part of such a great program! Our children have excelled academically as well as spiritually while learning about God's truth an His amazing love for us all! They have an wonderful staff and a great before and after school program. Eastmont has become part of our family and we couldn't imagine our children anywhere else!

Amazing school with a dedicated staff that takes a personal interest in every student.

This christian school is AWESOME! If you want your child to learn solid christian values, and also get the best possible education, this is the place. The school is actively involved in the STEM, and PLTW projects.

This school is abusive. I am permanently damaged from that place. Please do not send your kids there.

Of all the daycare and preschools we have experienced with our children this is by far the worst. Parents beware!

Do NOT send your daughters here. 10 years later and I am starting therapy again just to work through all the trauma. For the parent who reviewed and said she does not see how it would leave anyone "traumatized," did you live there? No, okay then shut your mouth because you didn't live it so you have no right to comment. Some of the staff were very emotionally abusive. I wish I would have started a lawsuit but it is past the statue of limitations so I cant. One of the girls accidentally wet the bed and her punishment was to wear a diaper 24/7 for several months. Humiliation like that is abusive. Certain staff would tell her to shut up when she would try to talk and tell her that she was annoying, they treated her horribly. These staff are getting paid to care for us, I don't care how annoying they might think someone is, if you are getting paid to care for her, you need to treat her with respect. For me personally I had a lot of not great things happen. I spent several days on "house restriction" and not able to talk to anyone and had to sit away from the group facing the wall. Point cards ran our lives which unfortunately caused a lot of us to suffer from anxiety. They only focused on the negatives and not the positives. There were several times I got docked points for things I couldn't control. My chore was irrigation and sometimes blow outs would happen randomly and theres nothing you can do to prevent it. So I had to choose if I wanted to get docked on my school point card for having to leave and fix it or just not fix it and get docked on my regular point card for not fixing it. When I was in the pathways program, there were several occasions that we didn't have any food. The staff wouldn't take us grocery shopping because they didn't have enough people. We didn't have any money and couldn't leave the house. My mom had to order food for my roommate and I and have it delivered on several occasions. I really should have called the police or cps. When your parents are paying over $4,000 a month, one would expect that we would be fed but I guess that is not a priority. I started struggling with an eating disorder while in pathways (which has never happened before that point) so I called to reach out to my case manager the day that she was suppose to come back to work. She didn't come in so I talked to another case manager about it. The next day I repeated the same process since my case manager didn't come in to work that day either. By the time my case manager came back she told me I was withholding information from her and I was in trouble. Even though I reached out for help to other case managers and actively tried to get ahold of my case manager so I could talk to her about it, it was me withholding information. About two weeks before I turned 18 (I had every intention of leaving on my birthday) Rick, who no longer works there told me that he was going to get custody of me beyond my 18th birthday and keep me there for as long as he saw fit even though I had already been there two and a half years. When it came time for me to leave, he told my dad that I wouldn't make it on my own and I needed the academy to survive. Bottom line, this place is a business. They want to keep people there as long as they can so they can make the most money. A lot of the girls on that lovely video on their website are not doing that well, a handful of them are back on drugs and served time in jail or prison. A lot of them got pregnant shortly after they got home and being a teen parent is not really something to be proud of. For all the fellow students on here, I am wishing you the best of luck working through the pain you feel from this place.

Great school for my boys. They really like it!

New and larger airport, comfy chairs. Idk if they have a restaurant since I go and catch plane right then.

Nice school with great teachers

My 33 year old son attended Sage Walk when he was in high school. Overall, it was probably better than nothing. They took chances and lacked medical oversight. Their 'licensed counselors' were not appreciably different than summer camp counselors. Children have died at similar places. If you are desperate enough to consider them, due diligence is necessary. Good luck.
