Passionately investing in children since 1977
Letter from the Co-Head of School
At Cascadia, we believe that our role is to partner with parents in providing an effective, inspirational learning environment. We’ve worked to create a place where children build a solid foundation, learn to think deeply, find confidence in their personal voice, and become empathetic leaders who make a positive global footprint.
Each year, our staff has the privilege of watching Cascadia students blossom into articulate, independent thinkers. We get to see them develop a personal drive for excellence and a real passion for investing in issues beyond themselves. For me, this Cascadia journey started over twenty years ago as a classroom teacher. After many years of passionately investing at the classroom level, I took on the role of Program Director, which enabled me to work across grades and eventually led to my role as Co-Head of School. Having had my own children participate in Cascadia's program, I've had the opportunity to see that transformation at a very personal level. Our passionate staff and tailored curriculum truly lead children on a wonderful journey of discovery and growth.
I invite you to get to know us better through our website and school tours. Looking forward to seeing you soon,
Teri Albertson Keeton | Co-Head of School
