Creative Science School is a focus option Portland Public School for children in grades K-8. Students are encouraged to be independent thinkers, learners, and problem solvers. Our students develop and demonstrate the ability to create questions, formulate solutions, and apply results throughout their lives. At CSS, we believe that children learn best when they explore and discover on their own, constructing their knowledge through hands-on experiences and problem solving.

Your child can begin at Creative Science School in kindergarten or transfer in at any grade level. There are typically 50 kindergarten slots available each year and a handful of spaces available in grades 1-8. We look forward to meeting you at one of our information nights!

Have you ever wondered about the magic that lies behind the classroom doors of Portland Waldorf School? Come inside and have a look…our behind-the-scenes tour takes you inside the classrooms (from Pre-K through High School), through our historical building (with gymnasium, music room, woodworking, metalworking, handwork), around our seven-acre campus, and follows up with a gathering of members of our faculty and administration who can answer your questions about PWS, Waldorf education, and more!  RSVP to mary.beaton@portlandwaldorfschool.org

King School will hold its Kindergarten Round-Up on February 16th at 1:30 pm. King has seen dramatic changes and invigoration in recent years with the hire of a new, dynamic principal, major investments in learning technology and steady growth in academic achievement. Come and learn about what King has to offer the neighborhood: dance, music, Playworks, Spanish and an active afterschool program. King is a certified International Baccalaureate World School in grades prekindergarten – 5th due to its interdisciplinary approach to education. The International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) performs site visits and assures the program and curriculum meets rigorous international standards. Parents are very involved at King and the PTA also continues to grow. If you are unable to come to the round-up, contact the school to schedule a visit by calling the office at 503-916-6456.
