Our goal is that the little learners leaving our school are fully ready for their next steps in education and life.
Our Mission
At Camas Day School, our mission is to cultivate and nurture our little learners' emotional, physical, and academic well-being through intentional play, teaching, and experiences. We do this by partnering with families and community members and creating experiences where students learn best.
Classrooms
