Academic Support

We create a college-like environment right here on campus because we believe that preparing you for college isn't just about what you learn in the classroom—it's about getting you ready for the whole experience. From our instructor’s weekly office hours to our carefully crafted academic schedules and calendars, we're all about giving you that taste of higher education. Whether you need extra help from your professors, want to dive deep into your studies, or just need to stay on top of your busy schedule, we've got you covered.

We embrace academic rigor and lean into a culture and practices that allow each student to find success. Our academic support system is multifaceted—designed to not only help students strive toward academic excellence but also to instill the understanding that learning extends beyond the classroom.

At each grade level, students learn and practice using their time wisely, build positive relationships with their teachers, establish organizational habits, and more. The goal is to provide this training early on so that students are able to hone these skills through practice and support, and then carry these tools with them throughout their time at Cascadia, and beyond!

Supporting Academic Excellence

  • Executive Skill Set

    From time management and organization to problem-solving and self-advocacy, mastering these skills is key to acing your academics and thriving in your personal life. At Cascadia, we're all about helping you hone these skills, so you can conquer anything that comes your way, both in school and beyond.

  • Office Hours

    Our model is set up to allow students to have contact time with their teachers, both in and out of class. After class support is scheduled twice weekly on our early release days, currently Wednesday and Friday. Our instructors will hold faculty office hours similar to college routines, and students will be able to receive extra help, check their understanding, or receive the type of support they need.

  • I Do, We Do, You Do

    Cascadia instructors create lesson plans following The Gradual Release of Responsibility Model. First, instructors model what to do to learn the new concept. Secondly, they provide guided practice with peers. And finally, students are given independent practice with new context toward mastery of the skill.
