ABOUT SUN VALLEY COMMUNITY SCHOOL

Our philosophy? Build community. Take risks. Grow your curiosities. Pursue your passions. Aim for personal bests. We are a preK-12 day and boarding college prep school of more than 400 students set in the iconic mountain resort town of Sun Valley, Idaho.

We value inclusivity, authenticity, and critical thinking.
