Unique Programs or Strengths of School

Outdoor Program at Beaver Creek

Southwestern Academy’s campus in Northern Arizona offers a very unique learning environment , vastly different from our campus in Southern California. Our college preparatory program incorporates outdoor education into the curriculum. The campus is located on a 180 acre campus surrounded by a very scenic Red Rock Canyon.

Two Interchangeable Campuses

One school , two campuses and two different learning environments. Not very many boarding schools offer this option for their students. Students can commence their program in Southern California and transfer to our other campus in Arizona for a semester, a year with the option of returning to the home campus based on space availability.
