2.0

10/7/2024

pretty bad experience. 20 thousand dollars a year for below grade level stem classes, boring art classes, absolutely terrible music classes, disrespectful teachers, and barely any opportunities to have a social life since the school is so small? would not recommend. oh! and dont forget that no matter what happens in the school, there is no way to get out of the tuition, even if you dont after the first day.

Amazing teachers. Amazing classmates. Great experiences and a unique experience. A lot of work goes into making the students learn well

Cascades Academy is small, and there is very little academic opportunity unless you are willing to create it yourself. The robotics program is exceptional, but that is just about the only area in which this school excels.

Truly one of the most disappointing educational environments I have encountered as a parent. I initially came here to share my own experience, only to see a review from September 2025 that mirrors ours almost exactly.The favoritism toward certain grades in the upper school is deeply troubling.

Finding Cascades Academy is what ultimately gave us the confidence to move to Bend. We liked the idea of relocating, but once we toured Cascades, it became the reason we took the leap right before the 2025–2026 school year.When we first visited, we were impressed not only by the philosophy and curri...
