Primarily servicing the cities of San Fernando and Sylmar and educating grades six through eight, San Fernando Middle School enrolls 560 students. With its key motto: “Be college ready by being high school ready,” the school offers a strong core curriculum and focuses on the unique needs of middle school-aged children and strives to provide an academic environment that sets the foundation for a successful high school and college journey.

The school also supports artists through the Beyond the Bell Music and Entertainment Education, a music program where students are given the opportunity to learn how to play an instrument while learning about music theory. This program is free of charge, providing students with an excellent opportunity to develop their interests and talents.
