Excellentia propter se. Excellence is its own reward.
Located on 35 beautiful, rustic acres in the Chatsworth neighborhood of the northwest San Fernando Valley, Sierra Canyon School is distinguished by its commitment to excellence in education, the arts, and athletics, while preparing students to live and thrive in the twenty-first century.
Sierra Canyon is a selective independent, nondenominational, coeducational day school in which students realize their greatest intellectual, creative, ethical, and physical promise.
Our energized, attentive, and diverse student-teacher culture defines life on our two campuses: The Lower School, for students in Early Kindergarten through 6th Grade, is beautiful and provides the perfect setting for young children to discover the joys of learning, and The Upper School, for students in grades 7 through 12, which evokes a modern, collegiate setting where parents are proud to send their children.
The educational programs of Sierra Canyon are grounded in the Liberal Arts tradition, yet flexible and able to adapt to the fast-changing world in which we live. Our faculty challenge and inspire students to pursue their passions whether they be in science, a foreign language, math, English, history, architecture, the visual, performing or fine arts, and athletics in nearly two dozen sports.
Sierra Canyon students are encouraged to think, explore, and immerse themselves in the small classroom settings which will prepare them for life – ready to make an impact on society and those around them.
