Private School Quality Education For Every Family at SCVi
The best education your child can get shouldn’t depend on what you can afford. At Santa Clarita Valley International School (SCVi), a public charter school in Castaic, it doesn’t. Tuition-free and WASC-accredited, SCVi delivers the kind of rich, personalized learning experience that prepares learners for the world. Best of all, it’s open to every family.
Every Learner Known, Every Learner Supported
Learners at SCVi get small classes, personalized attention, and dedicated facilitators who actually know their name and their goals. Every learner has an Individualized Learning Plan tailored to their strengths and growth areas, there’s no getting lost in the crowd here. Arts, social-emotional learning, project-based learning, a Spanish Dual Immersion option, and career-connected experiences are woven into every school day, not treated as extras. Think kindergartners designing and testing their own kites, practicing teamwork and the 7 Habits, while painting, building, and problem-solving all at once.
A TK-12 Experience Unlike Any Other
One of SCVi’s most powerful advantages is also one of its most underrated: your child stays with us from TK-12th grade. No stressful middle school or high school search. No starting over. Just up to thirteen? fourteen? years of consistent support, meaningful relationships, and purposeful learning.
From hands-on science projects and theatrical performances in the Lower School, to launching rockets in 7th grade and flying real gliders in 8th, every year at SCVi is built to excite and challenge.
One of the exciting ways we teach STEM is through our TK-12 Aerospace Pathway. Through the DreamUp to Space program, learners design science experiments that are conducted by astronauts aboard the International Space Station, then returned to campus for analysis.
Launching in 2026-27, College Connect brings college professors directly to SCVi’s campus, so learners can earn transferable UC/CSU credits in a supported, cohort-based environment — no GPA requirement, no entrance test, no leaving the community they already love. All of it — biliteracy, aerospace projects, college-level coursework — tuition-free.
Inclusive, Not Exclusive
This is what makes SCVi special. Every family in Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, San Bernardino, or Kern County is eligible to apply — no tuition, no catch.
