Southwestern Academy:
THE SAN MARINO CAMPUS
Southwestern Academy’s original campus is located on eight acres in the city of San Marino, a residential community with gracious homes, in the San Gabriel Valley near Pasadena. Ten miles away, the sprawling city of Los Angeles acts as a learning laboratory for our students, offering a range of museums, theaters, concerts, and more as field trip destinations. Weather in the Pasadena area is mild and sunny in our location at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains.
THE BEAVER CREEK RANCH CAMPUS
This campus is located outside the city of Sedona in northern Arizona, an international tourist destination that attracts more than four million visitors per year. The area is known around the world for its art galleries and spectacular scenery. Many films and commercials are shot on location here, and Sedona has long been a hotspot for Hollywood celebrities.
Southwestern Academy’s Beaver Creek Ranch is 12 miles away, surrounded by National Forest lands. In this stunning setting, nature provides the ultimate learning laboratory for our full college prep curriculum. History, geology, archaeology, biology, and art lessons are experienced everywhere on campus.
