College of the Canyons is a public two-year community college that operates within the Santa Clarita Community College District.

Academy of the Canyons, a middle college high school operated by the William S. Hart Union High School District, opened on the College of the Canyons campus. The concept allows promising high school students to attend high school and college concurrently. The college also oversees the University Center, a collection of public and private universities that offer advanced degree programs on the college’s campus, eliminating the need for residents to commute long distances to earn their degrees. Also operating at the college are the Center for Applied Competitive Technology and the Employee Training Institute, both of which have helped local businesses become more efficient and train employees in the latest emerging fields. |
