There are tons of great schools in the Portland metro area, so when making a choice, it helps to do your homework. To truly take the pulse of a school, consider an in-person or virtual visit. This guide has open house information for private schools throughout the Portland area. Check back as we are always adding new events to the calendar.
Most schools host open house events through April each year. During the spring and summer, the best way to learn about local programs is our Education Guide. We’ll update this page as we learn of more events. Generally, that has been in September. Please email info@pdxparent.com with any questions.
