Welcome to Open Meadow High School

The heart of Open Meadow’s program lies in developing a positive self-concept, and respectful relationships with others. By emphasizing personal responsibility, accountability, service to the community, and decision-making skills, students experience success and develop a sense of purpose and connection.

Open Meadow High School is located in the historic Benson-Chaney estate in North Portland on three acres overlooking the Willamette River. It is a closed campus with breakfast and lunch available on site. The home-like atmosphere supports the high school’s highly personalized approach to education.

The High School serves up to 80 students with classes that are designed to engage students with a variety of learning styles and skill levels. Classes average 12 students, allowing for frequent teacher/student interaction. Students work to earn credits toward a high school diploma and to meet the requirements for a Certificate of Initial Mastery (CIM) and Certificate of Advanced Mastery (CAM). During their senior year, students also participate in a Transition Crew where they complete either a college class or an external experience as they prepare for a life of independence beyond high school.
