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.

  • Small group instruction (maximum 8 students)

  • Engaging reading, writing, and math lessons aligned to Oregon State Standards

  • Science and social studies integrated into core content

  • Inquiry-based learning connected to real-world questions

  • Social-emotional learning woven into daily routines

  • Quarterly themes that shape content and discussion

  • Quarterly field trip (optional, additional fee)

  • Guest speakers aligned with unit themes

  • Community partnerships (e.g., salmon tank with Fish & Game, microscope exploration, and more)

Progress Reporting

Families receive monthly progress reports that align with Oregon homeschool documentation standards. Reports reflect academic growth, engagement, and personal development.

Family Events

Each quarter concludes with a Family Learning Showcase, where students share highlights from their academic work, journals, and personal reflections connected to the quarterly theme.

All students participate in the end-of-year Student Advancement Ceremony, provided they have met Oregon homeschool documentation requirements. This celebration honors their growth, effort, and transition into the next phase of their learning.

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.

Personalized Supports

With class sizes capped at just eight students, Evergreen offers the kind of individualized attention typically found in high-priced private schools, at a more accessible rate.

Families receive:

  • Structured, standards-aligned instruction

  • Supportive progress documentation for homeschool portfolios

  • Enrichment through themes, guest speakers, and family events

  • Meaningful learning without a full-day commitment
