Rating 4.56 out of 5 102 reviews
We have had an amazing experience at Sierra Canyon. Our son is a student-athlete. Academics are very important to him. He finished his senior year with a 4.4 GPA while playing on one of the top football programs in the country with some of the best coaches. That is not possible without the support of amazing teachers that keep the kids engaged. Sierra Canyon's college counseling is phenomenal as well. We have two older sons that graduated from one of the best Catholic schools in the area, but the counseling is virtually non-existent. We now know the difference. Sierra Canyon was a great fit for our youngest. My only regret is not moving him there sooner. He is now playing football for Texas Christian University and in their Neeley School of Business. I credit Sierra Canyon for that!
Our son attended Sierra Canyon School and had a uniformly excellent experience academically, as well as athletically and socially. Even through the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic, we found the administrative, teaching and coaching staffs to be engaged, caring, innovative and outstanding individually and collectively. Even online, the teaching was remarkably good and our son didn't seem to lose a step academically. Sierra provided top-notch college preparation and guidance. Combine all this with a generally supportive and education-focused school culture and you have a recipe for real learning, personal growth and achievement that will continue well beyond Sierra Canyon School.
We love Sierra Canyon! The thoughtful curriculum, structured yet nurturing learning environment and amazing teachers and staff have made this the perfect school for our son. He loves going to school every day and he's very excited to start 6th grade in August.
