Saddleback Valley Unified School District

Located in South Orange County, Saddleback Valley USD is the county’s fifth largest school district. The District provides a highly regarded educational program to approximately 29,000 students from its attendance area that encompasses over 95 square miles.
The success our students enjoy and our positive local and national reputation are the result of a strong team, including dedicated teachers, staff, administrators and parents. Our business community and city agencies also contribute to a well-rounded experience.
Our educational programs emphasize that students must develop basic skills and learn how to integrate them into higher order thinking abilities, such as problem solving, making comparisons, analyzing facts and drawing inferences. The academic environment is enhanced by a variety of athletic opportunities, fine and performing arts programs and many other student activities. Our schools offer unique curricular emphasis in science, language arts, gifted and advanced placement classes, International Baccalaureate, second language support or immersion, and environmental education. The use of technology as a tool to enhance learning for all students is also a top priority. We are dedicated to providing students, teachers and administrators with appropriate access to a wide variety of electronically delivered educational information and resources.
The District’s commitment in providing continuous teacher training and staff development is an important component in keeping our educational vision clear and focused on enhancing student skills and learning.
