St. Andrew Nativity School provides a transformative middle school education to youth from under-resourced backgrounds in the inner Northeast neighborhood of Portland, Oregon. Nativity is a Jesuit, Catholic middle school serving students from all faith traditions that supports the growth and development of a child intellectually, spiritually, physically, and emotionally. Our mission and program are for the purpose of breaking the cycle of poverty through education. The school is staffed by professional educators and committed volunteers. Nativity School forms young “people for and with others” who are dedicated to bringing all their talents to fullness and to using them to serve their families and their community.
