For over 30 years, the Ventura College Santa Paula Campus, as an extension of Ventura College, has been an educational leader providing a positive and accessible learning environment that is responsive to the needs of students, promotes success, develops students to their full potential, creates lifelong learners, and fosters positive human values for successful living and membership in a global environment, for the Santa Clara River Valley Communities of Santa Paula, Fillmore and Piru. The college site is a model on how institutions of higher learning can combine innovative programs, student support, and instructional technologies to provide outstanding learning opportunities and community services. The site also serves as the center of operations for Ventura College Off-Campus Programs, including Dual Enrollment.
