- Oregon has one of the largest average class sizes in the nation. These large class sizes mean that students are missing out on the individual attention they deserve. Schools also lack teaching assistants and other professional supports in the classrooms and school buildings.
- Nearly 45% of all Oregon classes have 26 or more students, with some classes as large as 56.
- Oregon has the third lowest high school graduation rate in the country.
- There are only 158 school librarians total in Oregon — less than one per district.
- Oregon’s school nurse ratio is 1:5481, more than four times the national recommendation.
- Oregon has half the school counselors than nationally recommended staffing levels.
- Lack of support for students with behavioral issues has created a crisis of disrupted learning because students with unmet needs are not getting the help they deserve.
- Programs have been cut at every level – art, music, PE, library services and so many more important pieces of a well-rounded education are missing.
- 94% of teachers spend money out of their own pockets on classroom supplies to make up the difference between what their students need and what districts can provide.
Important Dates:

We still need parent volunteers to help collect and put together the merci flower bouquets Tuesday and bring food donations for the all staff luncheon Thursday.

your family as well as our school. Though we love our current interns and it’s hard to think about them leaving, it’s already time to make sure that our interns for the 2019-2020 school year have welcoming host families when they arrive in the fall! Interviews are already underway.
Hosting an intern not only helps the interns feel more integrated into our community, but also provides an invaluable opportunity for cultural exchange for your children and the whole family. If you think you might be interested in hosting in the fall or spring next school year, please email us with any questions, or to get a host family information form.
Finally, a huge thank you to those currently hosting, and all those who have hosted in the past. Without your openess and hospitality, we would not be able to have this wonderful intern program!
Please contact our host family Coordinators:
