Southwestern Academy
http://www.SouthwesternAcademy.edu
Southwestern Academy is a small, co-ed college-prep school with two distinctively different campuses (one next to Pasadena, CA and one outside of Sedona, AZ). The California campus is limited to 140 boarding and day students in grades 6-12, and the Arizona campus has space for 40 boarding students in grades 9-12. Our low student/teacher ratio, small supportive classes, and individualized teaching contribute to our students successes. We can be a good match for students with a variety of educational abilities, but are not designed for students who have behavioral issues or theraputic needs. Our goal is to have half our students from the US and half from a variety of countries around the world, with no more than 10% from any single nation. Both campuses are located in safe, beautiful surroundings, and provide a healthy mix of academics, social and recreational opportunities.

(Summer programs are available for both US citizens and international students.)
