At Art Rutkin Elementary, every corner is designed to feel like home for its 650 PK-5 students. Nestled into a hillside and shaped by the surrounding forest, the school leverages a timber structure and abundant natural light to create warm, comfortable spaces — from the classrooms to the commons to the courtyards in between. Named for a beloved longtime Tigard-Tualatin principal, Art Rutkin Elementary prioritizes students’ connection to nature and community to support a joyful and welcoming learning environment.
