We are excited to welcome you to Santa Ynez Valley Charter School and look forward to you joining our Dragon family!
Our school was founded twenty-two years ago by a group of dedicated teachers and parents looking to provide a well-rounded, challenging curriculum with a focus on character development, civic engagement, outdoor education and the arts. Our passionate and committed teachers create a supportive educational environment that instills curiosity and a desire to learn in all our students. As an independent public school of choice, we strive to create a collaborative community of students, teachers, parents and board members. We believe that parent participation is a critical component in the education of our students and we encourage families to be involved in volunteering, organization and decision making. |
