School Overview

Tucked into Oroville — a small Northern California city nestled along the Feather River with a rugged, working-class character — The Studios @ Central is an arts-integrated middle school that brings a genuinely different approach to grades 5 through 8. Families who've felt like traditional schooling wasn't quite the right fit for their creative kids tend to find a home here, where the curriculum leans into hands-on, project-based learning rather than straight lecture and test prep. It's a school with a distinct identity in a community that values grit and independence, and for the right family, that combination can be a real draw.
