I enjoy looking at this school…read more My grandchildren are in school here. I don't hear well anymore because I'm old, but the sound of the recess bell never escapes me. Whenever I come to this playground it brings me back to my innocent youth; tetherball in first recess, red rover and kickball in afternoon intermission (what it was called before recess). A lot of the learning is done outside the classroom and on the playground. This playground is, as Donald Tremp says, "huge". Lots of area to learn. I don't anymore, but I miss the days where I used to be a recess safety officer (duty). I was able to tell all the children to be safe and make them listen to my stories of my youth. Not at this school. Great school. Grandchildren love it. ~grandma

We have been dealing with bullying issues over the last year, and so far multiple times this year…read more The principals at Lincoln elementary have refused to return phone calls regarding the matters, set "meetings" with us that they were unable to attend, and over looked the issue many times. Now it was brought to my attention that a "Mr. Jason" who is employed at Lincoln has in some form been encouraging and/or ignoring the issues. I would not send your children to this school until they get better staffing (if you have the option). After having this issue I also spoke with 2 other parents that have recently pulled their children out of Lincoln for similar problems! Never is it acceptable as an adult; especially working at a school (who should be setting a proper example) to tell a 6 year old that they deserved to be punched in the face by another student. They refuse to do anything about the bullying, and employee bullies at that. Not to mention they are obviously not adequately watching our children.

The boys have loved every part of school--from the caring teachers to the engaging learning to the friendships they've made. We've watched them grow so much academically and in character, and we especially appreciate the strong Christian values that are woven into everyday life here. As parents, we feel truly grateful and confident recommending this school to other families.

They charge for nearly everything and seem more concerned with image than student growth. Despite using "Christian" in the name, it is absolutely not God-centered. The title feels misleading and used to attract Christian families, but Christian values are not reflected in practice. Students who do not maintain a 4.0 are discouraged rather than supported. The school also claimed it would become accredited, which never happened.

Lady Blues, show your pride!…read more Yes, I am an alumnus of the great St. Mary's Academy (SMA)--the only all-women's college preparatory school on the West Coast--class of 2003. I think it's safe for us all to say that we have memories from our golden years, whether they be good or bad. Thankfully, 98.6 percent of my memories of good ol' SMA are very fond. From the spirituality of the Encounter retreat (ask me sometime!) to Ms. Gorman's STD slideshow (the cauliflower penis scarred us all) and falling off the Ark, those four years were great. I remember Sister Linda (the Prez of Student Affairs) would walk through crowded SMA dances, and separate girls from their dates who were dancing too provocatively, telling them to leave room for the Holy Spirit. And if you were caught again, you were taken to the cool-down room, where Mr. Hemmen (a religion teacher) would kindly lecture you. Obviously, *I* never made it that far. For a full list of SMA oddities, just check out the Facebook group [http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2230163620]. While SMA wasn't the school for everyone (i.e., the extremely boy crazy, and the ones whose parents forced them to go there), I thought it was the perfect place for me. It definitely fostered my growth as an intelligent and well-rounded person, and the teachers and staff never treated us like kids, even though we were in our teens. And I have to say that I feel I received an A++ education that TOTALLY prepared me for university. I mean, when I went to college, I had LESS homework than during SMA, and my classes were way EASIER than my high school ones. Pow! Take that! They taught me how to stand up for myself and how to get involved and ask questions. When I went to college, I was surprised to see that not many people were vocal like I was. Oh, and St. Mary's does not have uniforms (common misconception), and last time I checked they have the most liberal dress code of all the Portland private schools. Yes, you can wear flip-flops (Central Catholic doesn't allow that)! And SMA is right downtown. I took Tri-Met to school every day for four years! And because it's not a huge campus, you can leave the grounds for lunch after your freshman year. AWESOME. The teachers rock, the students rock, and they offer good financial aid packages. And I like the aid program they've got going on: For every $100 they give you in aid, the student has to do one hour of service work. It totally got me involved during my time. Oh, and no one's mascot has anything on SMA's (Laura N....that means your poet, too!): It's a blue music note. Ha! I've got nothing but love for this place. Send your baby girls here.

There were two things that initially drew us to Kids Campus in Tigard:…read more1) We really like the fact that the max capacity of infants is 4. This meant my daughter had one instructor during the majority of the day and only 3 other infants max. We first enrolled in Feb/ March of 2014 when our daughter was just over 2 months old while I transitioned back to work part-time. 2) The day I met Miss Elizabeth, the primary infant instructor, I was sold. She is warm, calm and grounded. The Director at the time had worked there for I believe 16 or so years and now had his children attending which spoke volumes to us and still does. Our daughter has spent the last year growing with 3 other amazing children, only a month or so apart. Not to mention the few kiddos who are a little older that she watched grow up and has now joined as a "wobbler". The staff works extremely hard to be supportive of each other and it shows; they are truly a family. We do not think we could be more impressed by the dedication of Pattie and Darcy as they have been with Kids Campus for many years, (you can ask them how many... we know; yet you should inquire if you are interested). Kris was always welcoming and friendly on the earliest mornings and made it so easy that when we had to take our daughter in early there was no worries to be had. Mrs. Margarita has been the primary instructor for the "wobblers". She is so energetic, expressive and passionate about the children's growth, development and care. Kids Campus Tigard staff and children attending have been an extended part of our family for some time. We don't believe we could find a better experience anywhere else. The campus is kept clean during the day and cleaned in the evening- no harsh chemicals or smells. I have seen the teachers act appropriately when they handle children's outbursts or behavior; often talking to the children and asking them about their frustration(s) while separating them from other children to alleviate any disruptions. We are forever grateful for the trust and care of our daughter and the extended family we found. We hope you also find yourself so lucky to become a part of this extended family. We will miss the great experience we had with Kids Campus dearly. Sincerely, Avery's Parents
