After thirteen years as a school, growing from 15 students to 247, it is time for Paideia to begin taking the next steps in becoming a more permanent educational institution. Our heart’s desire is to have a school building of our own where our two campuses can join back into one, a permanent schoolhouse to serve churches and families of Clackamas County.

With this goal in mind, we are launching the Million Dollar Seed Campaign. Over the next 3-5 years, Paideia will raise one million dollars as seed money to help us evaluate whether to buy or build; to help us talk with churches, architects, and lawyers; and to possibly become the seed of a down-payment or a capital campaign.

The good news is that due to generous donors over the past decade, we already have over $300k in the bank, saved in CD Ladders. Thanks to the generosity of sponsors and donors at the 2025 gala, we raised an additional $52,000. This puts us over a third of the way to our goal.

Thank you for your cheerful giving as we move towards the next step in Paideia’s journey, creating a more permanent institution of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty for our community.
