Portland Public Schools

As Oregon’s biggest, most diverse urban district, Portland Public Schools is an integral part of the fabric of our city. We partner with local business and industry to offer real-world experience, internships, and career guidance for our students. Portland residents are passionate about their public schools, providing generous taxpayer support and a spirit of volunteerism. Portland boasts an international reputation as one of the best places in America to eat, drink, and work. It’s a welcoming city, bounded by forest, and roughly the same distance from the nearest ski slope as the closest ocean beach. From artisan coffee and farm-to-table cuisine, to a long-standing cycling community, burgeoning crafts scene, and an eclectic collection of charming, walkable neighborhoods, Portland has it all when it comes to creativity, culture and livability.
