Sun Valley Community School is located in one of the most extraordinary settings in the country.

The thriving community of Sun Valley, Idaho sits at 5,945-feet among five mountain ranges in the Wood River Valley of South Central Idaho. Named by The New York Times as one of the "52 Places to Go in 2017," the neighboring town of Ketchum, home to Community School's Rufus M. Brown Hall, which houses our boarding program, is one of the West's most storied and stunning mountain towns. A world-class ski and summer destination, the area's recreational opportunities, rich history, and thriving cultural life offer up an unparalleled mountain lifestyle for students and families.
