School Overview

Nestled in Redding's high desert landscape where the Sacramento River meets the foothills of the Cascades, Redding School of the Arts stands out as the city's go-to option for families who want something a little different from a traditional public school experience. As a K-12 charter, it offers a rare continuity that lets kids grow up together through an arts-integrated curriculum, which tends to draw creative families and parents who value project-based learning alongside solid academics. Redding itself is a rugged, outdoorsy kind of place with easy access to Shasta Lake, Mount Shasta, and Whiskeytown — so students here get both an arts-rich classroom environment and a backyard that feels like a nature documentary.
