We've had an incredible experience at Cascades Academy thus far. The teachers are incredible, the administration is dedicated, the facilities are modern and beautiful, and the community is very supportive and welcoming. The small class sizes and commitment to fostering learning by doing drew us in and we've been very pleased by the breadth of programs offered in the lower school.

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.

Cascades Academy is a place of learning and community. My children have thrived at the school and are seen for their true selves. The small classroom environment ensures that each student gets the care and attention they need to succeed both academically and socially. The teachers take great care to create positive classroom environments that allow students to experience the learning. The staff prioritize both academia and peer relationships. I am honored to send my children to this amazing school.

Most teachers/staff are dedicated and kind, and the hands-on/project based philosophy seems appealing and gives the school strong potential.

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...
