SCVi, a WASC-accredited, free public TK-12 charter school in Santa Clarita, California, offers personalized, project-based, and social-emotional learning.
Within our positive learning environment, our learners think for themselves and develop emotional intelligence, life skills, and community engagement. We designed our program around the expectation that graduates would become entrepreneurs, leaders, and game changers.
Lower School
At SCVi’s Lower School, we focus on the whole child through creative, consistent application of project-based and social-emotional learning principles. SCVi’s engaging projects address real-world issues, requiring learners to practice collaboration, critical thought, sustained inquiry, and deductive reasoning.
Projects culminate in regular Presentations of Learning (POLs) to peers, facilitators, community members, and families. Our curriculum also features a strong social-emotional learning component that cultivates confidence, leadership, and self-reflection.
Our campus and open classroom environments create a sense of community that allows creativity to thrive. Our goal is to provide an environment in which our learners can create, explore, problem-solve, feel accomplishment, support others, and become confident leaders.
For our young learners, we incorporate play in learning. We believe unscripted, open-ended play is essential for cognitive and social-emotional growth. Extensive research demonstrates the importance of play for well-being and development.
Upper School
We consider ourselves a small liberal arts high school with a look and feel similar to a small liberal arts college. Our high school community benefits from a dedicated full-time college counselor, and many of our graduates have expressed that their transition to college was seamless.
Core academic courses for SCVi 9th-12th graders are A-G approved, the standard for entrance to the University of California and California State University systems. SCVi also offers the Aerospace Career-Connected Learning Pathway and International Baccalaureate (IB) Career-Related Programme.
Career-Connected Learning (CCL) integrates high school classes, community connections, work-based learning, and postsecondary planning and training. The goal of CCL is to support learners on their path to high-wage, high skill, in-demand careers in established and emerging industries. Learners choose their industry sector and pathway that best aligns with their interests and passions, ensuring the experience is meaningful and relevant to their goals.
