School Overview

Tucked into the small mountain town of Mount Shasta, where the volcano looms over everything and outdoor adventure is basically part of the curriculum, Sisson serves grades 4–8 for a tight-knit community that values both academics and an active lifestyle. The school holds its own academically — particularly in math and science, which fits well for a place where kids grow up hiking, skiing, and developing a natural curiosity about the world around them. Families drawn to a slower-paced, nature-immersed upbringing in a place where everyone knows everyone will find Sisson a comfortable fit for the middle school years.
