Arco Iris Spanish Immersion School Tigard Campus

09/28/2026

Arco Iris keeps class sizes small on purpose. Teachers know which students need a nudge and which ones need room to run. Nobody gets lost in the back row.

That kind of attention changes what a school day feels like for a kid.

We want to bring that same feeling to Tigard classrooms. Join our interest list: https://www.arcoirisschool.org/Tigard

This is what a first-grade year can look like:
🌈Teachers who show up fully.
🌈A community that wraps around your family.
🌈A school where kids grow up seeing the world as bigger than their own neighborhood.

Tigard families, what's the one thing you want most from your kid's school? Tell us in the comments!

First week of school just wrapped in Beaverton! Backpacks on. Spanish greetings at the door. First graders settling into a routine that had last year's class reading in two languages by fall.

Tigard, this could be your kid's classroom next. Tag a family who'd want in on this: https://www.arcoirisschool.org/Tigard

In 2010, Arco Iris was just an idea shared between a group of parents and educators who refused to settle.

Today, those first students are in their early twenties. They're bilingual. They're biliterate. They carry a worldview shaped by a school that taught them to see beyond their own experience.

That's what 15 years looks like. And Tigard, we'd love to see what the next 15 years look like for your kids.
We're getting closer every day. https://www.arcoirisschool.org/Tigard

Help us bring a new school to Tigard! 🎉

After more than a decade of serving Beaverton families, Arco Iris Spanish Immersion School is expanding to Tigard, creating even more opportunities for young students in Washington County to become bilingual and biliterate.

Arco Iris is a highly rated, tuition-free public charter school serving K–5 students in Beaverton. The new Tigard campus will bring Arco Iris’ 80% Spanish immersion model to a new community, giving more families the opportunity to have their children learn in two languages from an early age.

We are incredibly proud of the work that has gone into making this expansion possible and excited to see the impact it will have on Tigard families. 💙❤️💛

Recently, Everyday Northwest host Ally Osborne sat down with Arco Iris Executive Director Jesús Urdiales, a veteran bilingual educator with more than 25 years of experience leading multicultural and dual-language schools. They were joined by Assistant Director Perla Murphy and Student Success Coach Luis Samayoa to talk about what this expansion means for the community.

Every morning at Arco Iris, a teacher stands at the door and greets each student the way that student wants to be greeted.

Some kids want a fist bump. Some want a hug. Some are high-five people, always. The teachers know the difference before the first bell rings.

That's not a small thing. That's a school that sees your child as a whole person from day one. And it's exactly the kind of place we're working to bring to Tigard.

✅A multicultural community where every background was celebrated, not just acknowledged.
✅And Oregon's #1-ranked charter school to show for it.
