MULTI-SENSORY INSTRUCTION TEACHING CHILDREN HANDS-ON (MITCH)

Multi-sensory Instruction Teaching Children Hands-On (MITCH) is a public charter elementary school that is part of the Tigard-Tualatin SD 23J school district, located in Tualatin, OR with about 246 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. With about 16 teachers, Multi-sensory Instruction Teaching Children Hands-On (MITCH) has a student/teacher ratio of about 15:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

MITCH Charter School, located in Tualatin, Oregon, is a tuition-free public school that emphasizes a unique, research-based approach to learning. Its educational philosophy is centered on the "Multi-sensory Instruction" model, which integrates movement, tactile experiences, and hands-on activities into the core curriculum. By engaging multiple senses simultaneously, the school aims to help students move beyond traditional rote memorization, fostering a deeper, more conceptual understanding of subjects like math, science, and literacy.

Beyond its academic methodology, MITCH places a strong emphasis on community and the development of the "whole child." The school’s environment is designed to be inclusive and supportive, often leveraging small class sizes and a collaborative culture to address diverse learning styles. By combining state standards with an experiential, project-based approach, MITCH provides an alternative educational pathway for families in the Tualatin area who are seeking a more dynamic and interactive classroom experience.
