School Overview

MITCH Charter School, located in Tualatin, Oregon, is a tuition-free public school that emphasizes a unique, research-based approach to learning. Its educational philosophy is centered on the "Multi-sensory Instruction" model, which integrates movement, tactile experiences, and hands-on activities into the core curriculum. By engaging multiple senses simultaneously, the school aims to help students move beyond traditional rote memorization, fostering a deeper, more conceptual understanding of subjects like math, science, and literacy.

Beyond its academic methodology, MITCH places a strong emphasis on community and the development of the "whole child." The school’s environment is designed to be inclusive and supportive, often leveraging small class sizes and a collaborative culture to address diverse learning styles. By combining state standards with an experiential, project-based approach, MITCH provides an alternative educational pathway for families in the Tualatin area who are seeking a more dynamic and interactive classroom experience.
