Dunn School in Santa Barbara County, CA

Dunn School is located in Santa Barbara County, along California's beautiful Central Coast.  Our campus sits in Los Olivos (in the beautiful Santa Ynez Valley), an area surrounded by two million acres of National Forest and dotted with vineyards and California ranches.  It is the perfect blend of California sunshine (over 300 days per year!) and year-round access to the outdoors.

Not only does our campus give us easy access to both the coast and the mountains, but it also puts us within easy driving distance of some of the best and most beautiful places in the world.  Whether you enjoy cities or National Parks (California has nine-- more than any other state!), the ocean or the rugged peaks of the Sierras, we know that you'll fall in love with this area.  Where else could you surf and ski in the same weekend?  Here are just a few of the amazing places that you can visit from Dunn's campus:
