The Cottonwood School of Civics and Science is a public charter school located in Portland, Oregon. Their mission is to provide a creative learning environment where students develop a sense of place and become stewards of the natural world and active citizens within their community. They offer place-based education, exploring the community through fieldwork and service, and they are committed to building strong connections with Oregon's Indigenous communities.
Recognizing the land's Indigenous history, the school acknowledges and offers thanks to the many tribes and bands who have lived on and cared for the land in Portland. They aim to support the ongoing stewardship of the land and be willing learners of other ways of knowing. Through community partnerships and donations, they strive to further their place-based education approach and provide students with meaningful experiences in their surroundings.
