Elementary School

Visits and Inquiries

The most frequently asked question about our new school is: Where are you located? We are as eager as the parents of Portland to know the answer to this question. As we continue to interact with the greater Portland community, the location will be determined by the availability of space. A safe and friendly location for children will be the most important criteria for where we locate the school.

At present, our intention is to locate in SE Portland so that we can serve the diversity of families in that area where there are not currently many alternatives for elementary schools.

For any other kinds of inquiries about our school, please call Robin at 503-252-1946.

For Prospective Students and Their Parents

Fundamental to all students coming to The Holistic Education Elementary School is their wish to do so. We do not believe that such a wish is possible if the prospective student has not had a chance to see and experience a little of the school for themselves. This is especially true for the youngest students for whom being in a different place with different people can be a daunting prospect. We therefore expect, as part of the application procedure, all students to visit the school, to meet the staff, and to see for themselves the environment in which they will learn.

We will also ask that the parents of prospective students meet with the principal to discuss the prospective student's current situation and needs.

For Prospective Staff Members

The Holistic Education Elementary School has already reviewed applications and prospective teachers, and found an abundance of interest and talent by Portland teachers who would like to be involved with this endeavor. As we get closer to the time of opening, we will accept applications on a rolling basis, and should any positions become available, we will keep your application on file. Interested applicants may send a cover letter and resume to:

Holistic Education, Inc.
Attn: Scott H. Forbes, Principal
P.O. Box 33166
Portland, OR 97292

You may also include letters of reference concerning your teaching experiences or other work within the field of holistic education.
