School Notes

We are the only private high school in Oregon specifically designed to meet the needs of students with complex learning disabilities and attention deficit disorder issues.
Though it's rare that one of our students` only learning challenge is ADHD, we have found ADHD to be a significant component in a diagnosis that could also include Dyslexia, Auditory Processing Disorders, Nonverbal Learning Disorders or Visual Perception Disorders.
No two students are exactly alike, so customized approaches to learning is our normal mode of operation.
Our partnership with Jesuit High School (www.jesuitportland.com/) means that our students have access to all their extracurricular activities (i.e.
sports, clubs, dances, etc) and students who meet specific academic standards have access to any Jesuit class (i.e.
Spanish, calculus, physics, etc).

Welcome to Edison High School, the only high school in Oregon and Southwest Washington dedicated to serving students with complex learning differences or learning disabilities. Our work here is powerful and profound: helping every student to reach his or her full potential. As a small, private school, Edison High School offers an individualized curriculum that meets each student`s unique needs and maximizes their ability to learn. We also provide emotional support that builds confidence and maturity. By empowering students with learning differences to experience academic success and personal growth, Edison does more than prepare teens for the future; it changes lives.
Edison High School is open to students who have learning differences such as Dyslexia, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Tourette's syndrome, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia, Autism Spectrum Disorder(ASD), Visual Perception, Nonverbal Learning Disorders. Students are referred by parents, schools, counselors, tutors, and medical professionals. Each student and family is interviewed prior to admission and evaluated by staff to ensure a good fit.
Edison`s curriculum prepares students for graduation and beyond. Classes average nine students, allowing teachers to become familiar with each student`s learning abilities and challenges and to individualize instruction within a classroom setting. The strong bonds that form between staff and students are a hallmark of our school; these relationships encourage and steer academic and personal success. Enrollment is approximately 96 students. Edison High School is accredited through Cognia.
Founded in 1973 in Portland, Oregon, Edison is located on the campus of Jesuit High School. Though independent, the two schools have a collaborative relationship. Some Edison students attend classes at Jesuit, some Jesuit students take classes at Edison, and many Edison students participate in sports, theater, music, religion classes and retreats, and other extracurricular activities offered by Jesuit.
Edison is a four-year, full-service high school program with a strong record of academic success. The vast majority of our students receive their high school diplomas, and most Edison students continue their education beyond a high school diploma. About one-third of our graduates go on to a four-year college, while two-thirds of students attend a two-year institution, enter the workforce, or work while continuing post-graduate education. All students who earn their diplomas from Edison receive career awareness and guidance through our transitions program.
