School Overview

Clackamas Academy of Industrial Sciences (CAIS) is a specialized public charter school located in Oregon City, Oregon, that serves students in grades 6 through 12.

At the core of CAIS’s mission is the goal of preparing students for both post-secondary education and immediate workforce entry. By emphasizing project-based learning and partnerships with local industry leaders, the academy provides students with the opportunity to earn industry-recognized certifications and gain practical experience. The school culture is intentionally supportive and focused on individualized student growth, making it an ideal environment for students who thrive in a technical, interest-driven educational setting.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
