Redmond Elementary School

We have two sons in the Middle School program at Bear Creek, and we are so happy with the high quality curriculum and instruction here. The individualized attention and care each student receives is apparent. For example, during our most recent spring parent teacher conferences, every one of my kids' core and specialist teachers had insights into their classroom strengths. They also had wonderful suggestions for growth (i.e. a supplemental challenge math program for my 5th grader, an extracurricular leadership opportunity for my 8th grader, advice for high school coursework, etc.). We couldn't ask for a more nurturing environment to encourage our children to excel academically and as individuals.

Both of our daughters have attended Cascadia for the past 13 years, and we have seen the school grow and improve in many positive ways, almost like a member of our own family. Our daughters have very different personalities, yet the teachers and school have consistently adapted to support each of them effectively.We appreciate the school’s focus on well-rounded development across academics, sports, arts, and languages. It also has a strong sense of community, strengthened by active parent involvement and volunteer opportunities.I especially want to mention Ms. Teri Keeton. Having seen many teachers over the years, she truly stands out. As parents, we all reach our limits, but her passion for helping each child where they are, along with her patience, resilience, emotional insight, and experience, make a real difference. We feel fortunate our children have her. Ms Teri leads Cascadia effectively as a true leader making it one of the best schools in the area.
