Saturday Academy has served the Portland area for 36 years as a nonprofit. We offer more classes and summer camps for children in grades 2–12 in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math classes—integrated with the arts—than anyone else! Our instructors teach at more than 20 locations across the Portland metro area. These hands-on experiences provide opportunities for deep learning and knowledge sharing by experts in the field.
