How High Will You Soar?
Learning through Engagement
Catlin Gabel has long been Oregon’s preeminent progressive school, and it offers far more than academics. It empowers students to think independently and engage deeply with the world around them. It helps them find their voices, speak up, and advocate—for others and for their own learning—with empathy and confidence, guided and nurtured by our dedicated teachers. In the process, they become scholars of life and for life.
