The Foundation is a non-profit organization that assists the Children’s Hour Academy (CHA), a small, non-denominational elementary school and infant and toddler development center located in Lake Oswego. The Academy provides positive learning and growth for up to 200 children ranging from infants through elementary school age. The Foundation’s mission is to serve children with unparalleled educational and developmental opportunities by augmenting the learning environment in response to each child’s distinct learning style. The purpose of Children’s Hour Academy Foundation is three-fold, all with the goal of providing the means to address the needs of children. First, parents of the students enrolled in the Children’s Hour Academy are eligible to apply to the foundation for tuition assistance or supplemental funding for professional services or student aids to meet a child’s unique needs. Second, the Foundation will provide support to the Academy for the acquisition of equipment, furniture, and other capital expenses that enrich the learning environment for the children. Third, the Foundation seeks to enhance every student’s learning experience by providing programs and supplies that are intended to be supplemental to the traditional or adapted curriculum in order to insure that all students are served regardless of need or ability.
