Founded in 1989, Arbor School of Arts & Sciences is an independent K-8 school located on 21 acres of wooded farm land in Tualatin, Oregon, just south of Portland. We are a small learning community founded on the premise that education is powerful and lasting when it supports the development of intellect, character, and creativity in equal measure. We aim to foster collaboration, empathy, and civil discourse within student partnerships and cross grade groupings, believing that what makes us different as individuals will make us stronger as a community. Inclusion and equity are held as core values while we work continuously to expand cultural competence throughout our school community.
Arbor School is also home to the Arbor Center for Teaching (ACT), a two-year Teacher Residency program which offers an innovative teaching apprenticeship in a laboratory school setting. As part of that program, ACT offers two Fellowship positions for Teacher Resident candidates from under-represented ethnic, racial and/or cultural backgrounds in our small bi-annual cohort. |
