Sequoia Career Academy

Sequoia Career Academy is a charter school in Ukiah that takes an unconventional approach, blending academic coursework with career-focused learning across a wide grade span — from upper elementary all the way through high school. Families drawn here tend to value hands-on, applied education over a traditional school experience, and the career pathway focus can be a strong fit for students who learn best by doing. Ukiah itself is a small inland city tucked into Mendocino County's wine country, with a tight-knit community feel and easy access to the outdoors — a fitting backdrop for a school that encourages students to think practically about their futures.
