What’s Included
At Evergreen, literacy instruction includes reading comprehension, guided reading, and structured writing workshops. Math instruction focuses on number sense, problem-solving, and conceptual understanding. Science and social studies are integrated into quarterly themes through hands-on experiments, research, and collaborative discussions. All instruction aligns with Oregon State Standards and is adapted to student interests.

Best Suited For
Ideal for families seeking consistent, high-quality academic instruction in a calm, small-group environment, while leaving afternoons open for rest, extracurriculars, or home-based routines.
