Community Transitional School

- Community Transitional School is a private school dedicated entirely to the needs of children whose families are homeless, in transition and experiencing chronic poverty-related crises.
- Our purpose is to provide them with a stable, supportive environment that promotes both their personal and academic growth.
- We combine character education with a curriculum that helps students succeed and develop their individual strengths.
- Founded in 1990, we serve about 200 children every year.
- Our average daily enrollment is 60 to 70 students. We're a registered private school and an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
- Regular days during the school year start at 8:30am and end at 3:10pm.
- We're open for a full school year. We also offer a 5 week summer program.
- Our students range in age from 5 to 14 and come from families living in the city of Portland, Oregon, and parts of East Multnomah County.
- They live in homeless and domestic violence shelters, cheap motels, on the floor of a friend's home and even outside in their cars.
- Some are from families that are on the brink of losing their housing.
- Some have just recently managed to move into permanent housing.
- All are in situations where poverty and uncertainty are dominant forces.
