CASCADE CANYON SCHOOL PHILOSOPHY
At Cascade Canyon School, everyone knows everyone, and children feel comfortable expressing their individuality all the way through eighth grade. Within our accepting, inclusive community, we foster cross-age relationships and multi-age learning opportunities. Teachers, students and families work together to support our students' intellectual, social and emotional development. We offer small classes and a flexible, responsive learning environment that allows each student to reach his or her full potential. Our teachers are skilled in teaching to different learning styles and incorporating students' interests into the classroom.
The Cascade Canyon curriculum is rich in critical thinking: students actively analyze, evaluate, synthesize and apply their learning. We value the arts as an integral part of a child's education and are committed to helping each student develop his or her creative, expressive side. We recognize that students need a healthy balance of arts, academics and physical activity to thrive intellectually, socially and emotionally.
Through balanced, conscious and caring K-8 education, Cascade Canyon students gain a strong awareness of themselves and learn to communicate effectively with peers and adults. Our graduates are well prepared to succeed in high school and beyond as active, responsible citizens.
MISSION STATEMENT
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 who are
respectful of others, flexible in responding to challenge and
appreciative of diversity.
We challenge students to think deeply. We engage students in learning. We inspire students to express themselves. We connect students and famlies to our staff, each other, the school and communities around us.
