School Overview

Cahuilla Desert Academy Junior High serves the tight-knit agricultural community of Coachella, a city in the eastern Coachella Valley where families are deeply rooted in the region's culture and traditions. Academics here have room to grow, and families who get involved — connecting with teachers and seeking out enrichment opportunities — tend to get the most out of the experience. For those drawn to a community where the school feels like a neighborhood hub rather than just a building, Cahuilla can offer that sense of belonging that's hard to find anywhere else.
