School Notes:

Cascade Canyon School was founded in 1981 to provide an educational community that nurtures and challenges each student academically, physically, and creatively. Cascade Canyon School is dedicated to maintaining a small student-teacher ratio and to offering an integrated and balanced curriculum that exposes students to the joys of learning as a lifelong pursuit and leads students to become independent thinkers, strong leaders, and active participants in the global community-students who are respectful of others, flexible in responding to challenge and appreciative of diversity. Teaching is tailored to the most effective learning style for each student, and because of our small class size, we can provide an academic program suited to varying abilities. Cascade Canyon School desires a partnership with each family, based on mutual respect and trust.
