Oregon Episcopal School

http://www.oes.edu

Oregon Episcopal School provides an excellent college-preparatory education in proximity to the cultural scene of Portland, Oregon, and the mountains and seacoast of the Pacific Northwest. The 60 residential students live in an intimate dormitory setting with boarders from 13 countries in a program that stresses academics, service, and global awareness. Instructors work closely with students in humanities classes and in an award-winning, research-based science program. Weekend options range from skiing and backpacking to concerts, plays, and ethnic dining. Fencing enthusiasts can train at the world-class, on-campus salon where Olympics coach Ed Korfanty prepares Olympic medalists.
