Our Mission & Guiding Principles
Report
Sun Valley Community School is a dynamic academic environment that prepares our preschool through twelfth grade students for a world that is forever evolving. Our students actively acquire a proven body of knowledge and develop a useful array of skills and abilities. The principles articulated here derive from our experience as educators and lifelong learners.
History
Report
Sun Valley Community School was established in 1973. The first classes were held in the basement of St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Ketchum, with 30 students, three faculty members, and four volunteers. Today, we are a pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade day and boarding school with more than 385 students in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grades and more than 100 faculty and staff.
The Sun Valley Community School Difference
Report
We are a community of curious minds, adventurous spirits, compassionate hearts, and critical thinkers who engage in learning and connect as people in the thriving mountain community of Sun Valley, Idaho. Sun Valley Community School students come to know themselves and one another on campus and in the wilderness, finding joy and growth through academic challenge, outdoor experiences, artistic endeavors, and athletic passions.
Learn How Your Life Will Change
Report
You will be challenged to dig deep and to reflect, gaining insight into the your own and others' lives. You will find yourself in wild and beautiful places, and you will feel the power of these landscapes to transform and inspire. You will be known and challenged by faculty committed to connecting with you and supporting your passions.
Reimagine Your Classroom
Report
Across divisions, our students dig deep and, sometimes, travel far to immerse themselves in learning experiences that leave a lasting impact. The following are just a few of the "classrooms" Sun Valley Community School students explore. Ninth graders engage in service learning projects in Salt Lake City, during a week-long spring trip each year that offers invaluable insight into food insecurity, homelessness, and refugee concerns.
