Secondary campus of Cascade Christian Schools in Puyallup · grades 7-12 · 671 students (WA SBE, 2024-25) · interdenominational Christian day school, the flagship of a Pierce County system running from infant care through 12th grade.
What Cascade Christian sells is structure, and it is candid about the terms. Graduation takes 29 credits against Washington's 24, and seven of those credits (Bible, Advisory, Leadership, and a required experiential "I-Term") exist nowhere else. Phones go into locked storage from first bell to last, effective 2025-26. Fifteen absences in one class erases that course's credit outright, and a first verified offense with illegal drugs routinely means expulsion. In exchange, families get a school where roughly 65% of students play a sport, a first-year robotics team already reaching FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) regionals, and a Class of 2025 in which 96% of four-year-university applicants got in. Two things deserve a harder look. Pricing is a negotiation, not a sticker: the Variable Tuition model discounts the published $16,810-$18,840 (2026-27) by 15-40% based on your finances, so your real cost is unknowable until you apply. And the enrollment curve narrows sharply, from 132 ninth graders in 2024-25 to only 80 seniors. Understand that funnel before committing a 7th grader to a six-year run. This is a school for families who want the boundaries as much as the Bible; families who chafe at either should not expect it to bend.
