English school in Portland

Surrounded by wooded mountains and filled with leafy-parks and flower-lined streets, this off-beat, nature-loving city is proud to be endearingly unconventional

Our Portland school

Rising from a canopy of trees, Portland feels like a cosmopolitan city that got lost in the forest and decided to stay. Famous for its bicycles, its indie music scene, and the unofficial motto, “Keep Portland Weird”, this is a haven for eccentrics, fashionistas, progressives and geeks to express their love of everything home-spun, home-brewed, vintage and upcycled.

CURRENTLY CLOSED

We have delayed the reopening of our Portland school due to Coronavirus. Our Seattle school is reopening on 31 August with enhanced safety measures. Find out more.

  • Our school is located in the hip and lively Pearl District – packed with art galleries, microbreweries and coffee laboratories. It’s just five minutes’ walk from Powell’s City of Books, the largest used and new bookshop in the world 
  • Ten minutes’ walk or less from bus, street car and rail services, including Union Station, where trains are available to Seattle and Vancouver, Canada
  • Multimedia center with extra learning aids and a library including textbooks, CDs and DVDs
  • Runs regular volunteering drives allowing students to practice their English and build local connections, while gaining valuable career skills and experience
