We prepare teachers and school leaders to educate the whole person in the tradition of the Holy Cross, which began two centuries ago. As the premier program in the Portland metropolitan area, we partner with over 100 schools and 18 school systems, sharing the belief that education is a matter of justice, and that gaps in achievement and social opportunity can be addressed by skilled educators formed by mission.
As an undergraduate major, you begin serving in schools during your first semester, completing over 1,200 hours of field experience.
Our nationally accredited graduate programs and full-time faculty prepare you for advanced teaching and school leadership.
Our dedicated, full-time faculty hold doctoral degrees from leading universities, providing a level of expertise both geographically diverse and unique to the metropolitan area.
As a network of community school partners, faculty, and alumni, our mission is to form educators that address the needs of all learners.
