Who We Are

Sequoyah School is an independent, all gender K-12 day school located in Pasadena, California. Founded in 1958, the school is committed to our mission of challenging the mind, nurturing the heart, and celebrating human dignity.

Through Sequoyah’s project-based curriculum, language arts, mathematics, social studies, science, and visual and performing arts are all taught as related subjects in the elementary and junior high programs. Teachers guide students to be able to work independently and collaboratively and to make inspired connections between disciplines.

Sequoyah’s high school students are challenged to apply their knowledge and skills in advanced college preparatory coursework, and our interdisciplinary Social Innovation Program (SIP) emphasizes global perspectives and cultural competency.

The school’s integrated K-12 Field Studies curriculum incorporates outdoor and international experiences to create meaningful learning for students about themselves, their communities, and the broader world, while challenging students to think differently, problem solve, and work as a team with other students and faculty.

Additionally, Sequoyah’s Athletics program challenges student-athletes to strive for excellence, push themselves to discover and enhance their physical abilities, work cooperatively as a member of a team, practice good sportsmanship, and enjoy healthy competition.

Our school is named after Sequoyah, the Cherokee leader and silversmith who invented an alphabet/syllabary to safeguard his native language. Invention, literacy, and contribution to the community are all at the heart of a Sequoyah education, and the Sequoyah community honors and reflects the ethnic, cultural, and economic diversity of Southern California.
