We Know Middle School Students.
Middle School students are social, inquisitive, capable, enthusiastic, even a little goofy, and we think that is just great.
A Sun Valley Community School Middle School education is founded on the wonder, reflection, and broadening perspective of early adolescence and seeks to fuel students’ understanding of the world and their place in it with relevant projects and meaningful work.
We offer students the opportunity to follow their curiosity, explore, build skills, dig deep, and find challenge through an interdisciplinary, experiential approach to education on our campus and in the outdoors.
Sam Herrick joined Sun Valley Community School after spending a dozen years working at schools in California. He was Dean of Student Life at the Live Oak School in San Francisco and served on the Board of Trustees for the East Bay School for Boys, helping to usher the school from its inception to a thriving and unique middle school dedicated to boys’ learning.
