If you would like a more relaxed small school come here. Because of the size of the school there are not than many students or recourses however I believe it does a better job in preparing you for the real world then other school who focus more on the academic side of life.

Cascades Academy is an exceptional place where small class sizes, dedicated teachers, and experiential learning help bring out the best in every student. They have fostered our daughter's love of learning while teaching her about kindness, responsibility, and leadership. We feel grateful to be part of this amazing community.

Cascades Academy is an awesome school for experimental l learning. I absolutely love the traveling school programs and the hands-on experiences we get to have. Another great part about this school is the teachers and the one-on-one bonds students are able to make with them because of the small classes. One negative is that the classes are very small and it can be hard if you like a larger social scene. The school also does not offer many sports programs- you may need to participate in sports or extracurriculars through a different school.

When a new child had his pants pulled down at Halloween, the kids in the class thought it was funny. A child in the class took it a step further and started crawling under the sta...

Cascades Academy is amazing! The balance between social-emotional learning and academics is perfect, and my son is thriving. He enjoys going to school every day, and as a parent I couldn't be happier. We love the storyline curriculum, as well as experiential learning approach, which includes explori...

We had high hopes in going to this school. My child has a disability and I had many meetings, before school began and once it began. I felt I had to prove my son's disability and what we talked about wasn't communicated to the teachers, which put him at risk. He wasn't getting the accommodations he...
