Canyon Oaks High School Reviews

by a  Parent  Anonymous
My student was having trouble attending regular school due to medical problems.  As soon as she was enrolled at Canyon she had a new life! The teachers,Principal and all staff are great and caring people.  They are true educators!  They not only teach their class subject but also throw in guidance and counseling along the way. We love the small, "private" school setting. It is more of a community then just a school.   She has now graduated and is attending college thanks to their gentle guidance.  A proud Canyon parent.

"They have a newly built building which is absolutely gorgeous and very well laid out. In general the staff is caring, but firm. Only bad thing is that parent involvement is not encouraged. Yet!!"
