Our school has been educating children in Chico, California since 1905, offering pre-kindergarden through eighth (PK-8) grade. We share a campus with Chico Oaks Preschool for the convenience of our parents.
We are part of the Seventh-day Adventist Church which operates the second largest private school system in the world––with 950 schools, preschool through universities, in North America alone. Our students benefit from deep local and national experience in educating students Our graduates go on to complete college and post-graduate degrees at rates more than double that of students in other school systems.

The most important thing we do here at Chico Oaks is to help students grow in their love for Jesus. Although we don’t have easy ways to measure that growth or quantify it in numbers, we do see it every day. It is the result of our focus, as Protestant Christians, on making Christ the center of all we do, not just the topic of Bible class.

With Christ at the center of our school we focus on building character traits that both equip our students for this world and help prepare them for the world to come. We recognize that when we are rooted in Christ great things occur in and out of our classrooms. We are committed to developing our four core values in our students and ourselves.
