So so so good! Love this place! They have taught so much and are the best school I've ever been to. We go skiing in the winter and get to do camping three times a year. Cascades academy is such a great school!

4.0 Senior

11/26/2023

Amazing opportunities for experiential learning and going on trips. Most incredible and caring teachers and a tight-knit community. However, class sizes are very small so there's limited options for classes, clubs, and sports.

3.0 Freshman

12/29/2020

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.

Their forward thinking way of educating is profoundly effective and we are so than...

Cascades Academy has a beautiful campus and a warm community. Most teachers/staff are dedicated and kind, and the hands-on/project based philosophy seems appealing and gives the school strong potential. That said, some families experience frustration with leadership being closed off to those outside...

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.
