St Therese School

Schools have pivotal roles shaping the future, ensuring safety & fostering growth to our children. Attending Portland Christian Schools at the Jr.Sr.High has laid a new path before our child. To truly understand the impact Portland Christian has had in improving every aspect of our child’s life you would’ve needed to know our history in the public school system. As the new kid the other students were welcoming. She had no problem making friends. She's had no issues being bullied. Their staff takes all issues serious. They don't let situations build up before intervening. I've never felt I was being bothersome when requesting things or asking questions. My child feels emotionally supported when having a down day. She's not trying to stay home anymore. She's trying new sports to be part of the team. She’s the courageous confident kid she was before the pandemic. It’s a true testament as to the dedication of the PCS staff and community. It’s hard to find words to describe our gratitude.

Review of Portland Christian Academy I regret to say that my family's experience at PCA has been overwhelmingly negative. We enrolled our two children with high hopes, given the substantial tuition fees we are paying each year, but unfortunately, our expectations have not been met.From the outset, it became clear that the school does not offer adequate support for children with learning or academic delays. There are no resources or programs in place to assist students who may need extra help, leaving many children to struggle without the necessary guidance.A particularly distressing issue has been the bullying problem that seems to go unchecked. Despite multiple complaints regarding the principal's child bullying other students, the school has failed to take any meaningful action. This lack of response to bullying not only undermines the safety of the students but also reflects poorly on the school's commitment to creating a supportive environment.Additionally, we've encountered what feels like discrimination against children with certain health conditions. The school's approach to these matters has been less than accommodating, leaving us feeling unsupported and concerned for our children's well-being.Given these ongoing issues, I cannot recommend Portland Christian academy. It has been disheartening to witness the lack of attention and care for the students' emotional and academic needs. I would advise parents to consider other options for their children's education
