Summer camps are designed to provide fun and engaging ways for students to learn new skills and share meaningful connections.

Founded in 1972 as a lab school at Marylhurst University, The Marylhurst School is an independent, progressive school serving children from preschool through 8th grade. The school practices progressive education through experiential learning and respect for the social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development of the student, and children develop a foundation for lifelong learning, problem-solving, and working within a diverse community. Intimate, mixed-age classrooms and the wooded 38-acre campus are used as laboratories for hands-on experimentation and authentic inquiry, and the school provides integrated art, music, Spanish, and Physical Education.
The Marylhurst School emphasizes diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging and commits to active anti-racism practices and working toward social and environmental justice. The school acknowledges that it is on the traditional village sites of the Clackamas bands of the Upper Chinook and recognizes many indigenous tribes and bands that traveled through the area. The school has begun the process of Backyard Habitat Certification, and the Ravens class has volunteered at the Oregon Food Bank, where students sorted and packaged apples and potatoes, and the school community has delivered more than 1,000 pounds of food and essential items to local organizations serving families in West Linn, Oregon City, and beyond.
The Marylhurst School is a partner school with the Progressive Education Network, is accredited as a subscriber school member of the Northwest Association of Independent Schools, is licensed by the Oregon Department of Education Child-care division, is recognized as a federal nonprofit 501(c)3, and has been named one of Niche.com’s Best Schools for 2026 with an overall grade of A. The leadership team includes Head of School Leif Gustavson, Director of Enrollment Allison Fredette, Director of Development Suzanne Tye, Learning Support & Extracurricular Program Coordinator Heather Botcheos, and Office Manager Alex Migliaccio. Office hours are 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday.
