"The Little Red School House"

The Santa Clara School was founded in 1879. The current School Building, "The Little Red School House," is not the original building or even on the original site. This schoolhouse was built in 1896 and is located on California SR 126, approximately halfway between Santa Paula and Fillmore.

The school has been in continuous operation since 1879 and today serves K-6 students who work together in one of the three school rooms. Much of the original character of the school and its facilities remain. However, today, modern equipment, e.g., television, document cameras, and computers, are extensively used, and the school retains its historic tradition of academic excellence.

Our Mission

The importance of education and the role schools play in shaping children's future cannot be overstated. Fortunately, children are natural learners who

have an innate curiosity about the world around them. At Santa Clara School, all students are provided with the opportunity to learn at the level of the

state standards. This ensures that every child is given the tools and support they need to reach their full potential.

In addition to providing a high-quality education, Santa Clara School also emphasizes creating a safe, orderly, and positive school climate. This is

achieved by promoting good citizenship and leadership among students and the collaborative efforts of teachers, parents, staff, and community members.

Furthermore, Santa Clara School recognizes the importance of art, music, and drama in a well-rounded education. These subjects are integral to the

program and are given the same priority as core subjects like math and science. By providing a comprehensive education that includes the arts, Santa

Clara School ensures students are well-prepared for success in and out of the classroom.
