Our District
Big Sur Unified School District serves students in TK/transitional kindergarten through twelfth grade. Our district boundaries stretch 60 miles along the Pacific Coast from Anderson Canyon to the southern Monterey County line. We provide a small student population with personalized attention, helping them grow both academically and socially.
The Big Sur USD was first established as the Pacific Valley School District in the 1950’s and later changed its name to Big Sur Unified School District in 2012. Our district embraces unique educational programs and projects that help our students become environmentally conscientious, contributing members of this 21st century community.
BSUSD’s only public school, Pacific Valley School, is located on Highway 1 in Monterey County. Nestled between Los Padres National Forest and the Pacific Ocean, our surroundings foster a proud tradition of environmental awareness.
We offer comprehensive educational programs based on the very highest academic standards.

Our Vision
