Why Families Fall in Love With SCVi
What makes families fall in love with their children’ s school? At Santa Clarita Valley International (SCVi) Charter School, a tuition-free TK-12th grade public school in Castaic, California, it might be because of the welcoming atmosphere, the way it’s easy to be involved, or the outstanding array of learning opportunities available for our learners. Or maybe it’s the quality of instruction, or the field trips or even our lovely little cafe! Here, we cover a few of the top reasons families fall in love with SCVi.
Learners Are Known By Name, Never a Number
At SCVi, every learner has an individualized learning plan and support from a dedicated care team. Our small school environment means your child will never get lost in the crowd. Our TK-12 culture is built on positive teacher-student-family (or, as we call them, facilitator-learner-family) relationships. Families enjoy a safe, developmentally appropriate environment that nurtures learners right where they are.
Learning That Lights Up Their World
Through active play and project-based learning, your child becomes an active participant in their education. Whether they’re studying how animals fly in kindergarten, building Mars rovers in elementary school, or actually flying a glider in 8th grade, learning comes alive. Our integrated arts program and new aerospace learning pathway mean creativity and innovation are woven into every subject, every year.
A big benefit of a TK-12 continuous school is you have time to build upon skills year after year. At SCVi, we believe that consistency is crucial for learners. It builds confidence and independence.
A Community That Celebrates Growth
We believe education is about more than test scores, it’s about developing the whole child. Families love our social-emotional learning (SEL) approach, combined with the Leader in Me’s educational program, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, that help students develop emotional intelligence alongside academic skills. From Presentations of Learning to our End of the Year Art Show to our -sniff- Senior Sunrise and Breakfast, we celebrate every milestone.
Best of all, families are invited to be a part of our community and witness these achievements in the classroom, at performances, and during celebrations.
Free to Think, Inspired to Lead
Families love that they can access private school-quality education without the price tag. With dual-language immersion, the International Baccalaureate Career-related Programme (IB CP), and college counseling, we provide every opportunity for your child to lead and thrive.
At SCVi, we help students get to know their strengths and areas for improvement. From the aforementioned Presentations of Learning, to Showcases of Learning, Learner-Led Conferences, and a final Senior Portfolio presentation, students feel comfortable being challenged, taking risks, and learning new things.
