Charter schools, as non-tuition based, government-funded, public schools, are open to anyone residing in the state of Oregon. If more students apply than there are spaces available, admission is decided by lottery. Priority is given to students residing in the Portland Public School district, but if spaces remain, students from outside the district are allowed to attend. Once a student is enrolled at the school, priority is also given to siblings. Age restrictions on public school students also apply to us.
The Portland Village School opened in the 2007-08 school year with grades K-4, and added a grade each successive year with the goal of having two tracks of K-8 which was successfully realized in the 2014-15 school year.
