Learn more about BSD’s option schools and programs, including the Arts & Communication Magnet Academy (ACMA, incoming grades 6-12), Beaverton Academy of Science & Engineering (BASE, incoming grades 6-10), International School of Beaverton (ISB, incoming grades 6-10) and Rachel Carson Environmental Science Program located at Cedar Park Middle School (incoming grades 6-8).

International School of Beaverton students recently visited with students from Shukutoku High School in Tokyo, Japan. See how these two groups are learning from each other in this cross-cultural exchange.

Choir students from ISB took a field trip to Sunset High School to sing for other schools and show off the skills they've learned this year. Take a listen!

In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week and our graduating seniors, we're bringing back our "GRADitude" video series. Each high school selected a senior. That senior then wrote a letter expressing their gratitude to a teacher or staff member who had a big impact on their education.
