“Our family has found so much value in being part of the Cascadia community! The teachers are accessible and very in tune with the kids and their development while providing the resources for exceptional learning.”

“I love the way they work with the children and nurture a child's love of learning.”

“To assist a child we must provide him with an environment which will enable him to develop freely.”

“A safe and happy place to get a good education. They make learning fun. “

“The essential thing is to arouse such an interest that it engages the child’s whole personality.”

“The mixed aged classrooms are an incredible experience for all involved. There is so much each child can learn from one another and they stay with the same teachers for three years, creating a true understanding and bond. My child calls her class her second family. We couldn't imagine a better learning environment if we tried!”

“Never help a child with a task at which he feels he can succeed.”

“My children enjoy school, have gained confidence and learned a wealth of information and skills with very little stress. That is how learning should be!”

“These words reveal the child’s inner needs: ‘Help me to do it alone.’”

“My son has spent the past 8 years learning and growing at Cascadia. He hasn’t just learned the basics (math, English, science, history). He has also learned how to work with others, how to mentor younger students, and how to be a role model. “

“Education is a natural process carried out by the child and is not acquired by listening to words but by experiences in the environment.”

“Our daughter was at Cascadia from 1st-8th grade. She took on challenges and persevered with support and guidance while at the same time, allowed to make her own decisions. We couldn't have asked for a better education in preparing her for high school, life skills and beyond.”

“Both boys have blossomed in this environment, both educationally and as thoughtful, courteous and kind young men. The parent community is very close and supportive -- kind of like an extended family -- and there to help whenever the need arises. Our experiences at Cascadia have been extremely positive for our whole family.”

“The land is where our roots are. The children must be taught to feel and live in harmony with the Earth.”
