About Us

Welcome to Llewellyn Elementary School!

Mission

At Llewellyn, children are challenged to learn and grow in an environment where teachers and parents collaborate in every child's achievement. Llewellyn embodies the spirit of a community dedicated to children succeeding in academics and developing qualities of respect, responsibility and self-confidence.

Neighborhood School

Nestled on a ridge above Oaks Bottom and the Willamette River, Llewellyn Elementary School has been serving the community of Sellwood-Moreland and southeast Portland for 80 years. Llewellyn is centrally located, with easy access to those outside the neighborhood. Teachers walk with classes to nearby parks, conduct science workshops in Oaks Bottom and Johnson Creek and tour local businesses. Llewellyn is an integral part of the neighborhood and a centerpiece for community activities. Come and see for yourself!

Curriculum

Our dedicated and experienced faculty and involved parents are committed to inspiring children to become lifelong learners. K-5 graders are provided a balanced curriculum with students consistently scoring among the highest levels in the state in reading and math.
