Learning is engaging and alive in our classrooms. Our school is focused on teaching, supporting, and cultivating future leaders.

Children need more than academic knowledge; they need emotional growth and social skills to navigate the challenges they will face in their next educational steps – and life! We do more than prepare students for middle school; we give them a love of learning!

Education isn't what it used to be... It's better.

Alameda advances your child's education with Common Core Academics that establish and strengthen academic skills. We have achieved Level 5 (out of 5) on Oregon State Achievement data for grades 3-5. Our highly experienced team, many of whom have been teaching at Alameda for 10-plus years, are dedicated to seeing each child reach their full potential through a strong focus on academic basics and individual attention - ensuring every child reaches or exceeds their milestones. Our scholars are prepared for tomorrow and all the days to come.
