Overview

Portland is a fully personalized environment where learners receive experiences that are tailored to their specific emotional, cultural, and academic needs.
We believe that every student has the opportunity to thrive, grow, and achieve no matter their starting place. Students are the driving force behind their learning, and they possess interpersonal skills needed for self-directed learning.
Students are the drivers of their learning, allowing their interests, current data, and goal-setting to lead the way. Students can show competency in a variety of ways, including self-selected displays of learning, authentic tasks, and traditional methods of assessment.
