Sneak Peek at Upcoming Fall Classes

This year, learning looks different. For most, due to COVID-19, learning now takes place entirely at home. Like many schools in Oregon and across the country, Saturday Academy has pivoted completely to online classes. Our classes team has worked hard to schedule our classes around the various school days across the Portland-metro area. We hope to be able to ease educational gaps students may experience this school year. If class timing is a barrier, please let us know!
