Community School is a private school in the western United States, located in Sun Valley, Idaho. It was established in 1973 as a secondary school and moved to its present location in 1975. The school now provides pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade programs and its campus is located just south of the Sun Valley Resort alongside Trail Creek, at the northwest base of Dollar Mountain.[1]
