Summary: Sun Valley Community School’s Residential Program provides the opportunity for talented and creative students from across the country and the globe to experience life in Sun Valley, Idaho and attend Community School.

We prioritize trust, respect, honesty, responsibility, teamwork and healthy living.

Our program capitalizes on the close relationships between students and teachers that Community School students and families have always valued; the Director of Residential Life, teachers, and Teacher Training Academy interns live in the Residence Hall, giving it more of a “family” vibe than that of a dormitory.
