Sonoma Valley Unified School District

Welcome to Educational Services!

Educational Services lie at the heart of our commitment to student-centered learning.

At Sonoma Valley Unified School District, we partner with parents, staff, students, and the community to foster an environment of respect and trust, guiding every student toward their highest potential. We embrace an asset-based approach, recognizing the unique strengths each individual brings, and champion equity and excellence by ensuring all students have access to rigorous academic opportunities.

Using state content standards as our guideline, we employ research-based practices to deliver a challenging, integrated core curriculum that meets the diverse and differentiated needs of our learners.

Our commitment to creativity empowers students to explore new ideas and solve problems, while ongoing professional development enables our dedicated teachers to refine their practice. This creates engaging classroom experiences and learning environments where students can thrive and cultivate a positive relationship with learning.

We also integrate environmental awareness into our operations and curriculum, fostering a generation of environmentally conscious citizens.

Our collaborative efforts, deeply rooted in community voice and collaboration, are all focused on realizing our vision:

SVUSD graduates are creative and critical thinkers, with a strong foundation in life skills and academic knowledge, who believe in their capacity to learn and thrive. They are “Rooted in Sonoma, Ready for the World.”
