SCVi Charter School

What SCVi Charter School does

SCVi Charter School (Santa Clarita Valley International Charter School) is a tuition-free K-12 public charter school founded in Fall 2008 and headquartered at 28060 Hasley Canyon Road in Castaic, California. It serves families in the Santa Clarita Valley through a project-based learning model built on Individualized Learning Plans, multiage classroom groupings, portfolio-based student-led conferences, and a constructivist philosophy drawing on Vygotsky, Freire, and Piaget. SCVi was the first school in the Santa Clarita Valley to receive International Baccalaureate World School authorization (October 2013), offering the IB Primary Years, Middle Years, and Diploma Programs to students ages 3–19, and it is pursuing full WASC accreditation on top of that.

The school supplements its core academics with a Home Study hybrid program, before/after-school Kids Club childcare, college counseling via Khan Academy and CollegeOnTrack, a Learner Ambassadors leadership track, and a TreeRing-customized yearbook. Enrollment is managed through open enrollment followed by a random lottery when applications exceed capacity. The institution is a non-profit public benefit corporation governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and operates as the founding school of the iLEAD Schools network.

SCVi derives its revenue primarily from California per-pupil Average Daily Attendance (ADA) allocations through the Hart District, supplemented by public and private grants and a voluntary Family Giving program suggesting $365 per family plus $100 per additional child annually. The school employs approximately 79 staff, deliberately operates below its potential physical capacity to preserve small-class instructional models (20 students lower grades, 25 upper grades), and reports the broader Santa Clarita Valley market as growing by roughly 50,000 residents over a 10-year period.
