Summit High School

My children have attended both the elementary school and middle school at Cascades Academy. My family has grown with the school and have had the opportunity to be a part of its traditions and growth. They take great pride in their values and live them every day. My children have grown to be well rounded, considerate people who still continue to have a love for learning because of the way the school has fostered this in them. They enjoy going to school because their teachers care, but also because they interact with their peers in meaningful ways. Each class allows for students to discuss what they experience and how their research or conversations impact them or the environment around them. Our family feels safe and heard at Cascades Academy and would recommend it to others looking for a caring and positive environment for their children.

Seven Peaks School is such a gift to our community! The IB program is AMAZING - and offers such unique opportunities to our preschool, kindergarten, elementary, and middle-school-aged children. It is the only school in our region that offers that continuity of care and academic growth, shaped by the globally-recognized quality of IB instruction. The staff and family community are both vibrant and engaged - my children love walking in those doors each day!

It was such a blessing when we found TSACS through an internet search for “Christian schools” in our area. Every private school was so expensive, and then we visited a Storytime orientation for interested families and were very impressed. We do not attend the home church but they have brought us in like family and worked with us to make the financial obligations affordable. The classes are a blend of grade levels and small enough that the children get the attention they need to succeed. There are about 50 kids that attend the school, so it is truly a family and I know my kids are so very loved by the staff. Kids need role models and people to look up to, the pastors come and help with PE, take them on field trips and give a weekly chapel message on Fridays.The kids learn to co-mingle with kids of all ages and have chapel buddies from a different grade and class. There are so many things to love about this school, it’s hard to sum it up in a paragraph. There are multiple events put on where the children learn a script and act out a play for the family audience. The teachers put so much heart into creating a beautiful set with decorations and costumes. Peter Rabbit, Rainbow Fish and Christmas Angels Aware were some of my favorites. They have an end of the year Talent show and every child has a part, also a Literature fair where the kids do book reports and they showcase many of the projects throughout the year for parents. The school has ski lessons and swimming lessons, plus goes on many field trips throughout the year. They serve at the church and make lunches for the homeless, they put on church services with singing and sermon for the Seventh Day Adventist church, which helps keep the school thriving with prayers and financial donations. The older kids get to go on a trip at the end of the year, this year they went to the beach and an aquarium and last year Seattle to visit the space needle. They go to museums and have fun events in the warmer months with slip n slides and water play. In the winter they went snowshoeing with a forest Ranger and learned about the ecosystem. If you are looking for a safe and loving environment where your child will learn how to love like Jesus, all while living life to the fullest and watching them blossom, this is the school!
