I have been a teacher at Sierra Canyon for many years. I left after 18 years and taught at another school, but gradually made my way back home. The community, culture, and overall educational experience offered is something so unique that I couldn't stay away. I always felt like I was on loan until I came back. Sierra is a place that become a home. The feeling of belonging and comfort is something unique to Sierra, whether as a teacher or a student. Relations developed are forever, evidenced in the return of children of past students, and continued communication between teachers, parents , and students who have graduated. This is my happy place!
After relocating to CA, we were most impressed with SC as it provided the most comprehensive education. We felt that their approach to education was the most aligned in honing key life and morale character skills needed for one to succeed. Unfortunately, others focused solely on academics. Additionally, unlike one of the most reputable schools in LA, SC didn't make the parents go through a separate interview which we found insulting given our educational and professional credentials. As a result, our daughter turned down this other offer and happily enrolled at SC.
It must be said that the school has asked parents recently to review the school on niche. Athletics take priority over all, leading to underfunding over other portions of the school. Every teacher i have had has been fantastic. When you are at Sierra Canyon you feel like a commodity, an investment by the school and based on how much money you generate, you get special treatment. If you have the money or you generate the money for the school, you can get away with a lot, and I've seen plenty of expellable offenses be swept under the rug after a large donation or simple due to the stardom of the kid. If you watch an assembly you would understand that their is little to no school spirit. What this school is good at is getting you into good colleges. Come for the results the school can bring, spend the time to use the resources that are available, even if you have to scavenge for them, and dont expect to enjoy doing it.
