Begin with Canyon’s Enrollment page, which separates new applications from returning Aeries AIR applications. Students coming from outside the district and incoming freshmen who are not coming from El Rancho should also contact the Counseling Office at 714-628-5335 for course-selection guidance.

Start the district enrollment process, then contact Canyon’s Counseling Office at 714-628-5335. Staff can explain which academic, identity, residency, immunization, and language-support records are needed for the student’s circumstances. Do not rely on a generic document list because requirements can vary.

Tour opportunities and dates can change from year to year. Call Canyon’s main office at 714-532-8000 for current availability, or use Maps & Directions for campus and arrival information.

Counselors support academic planning, college and career preparation, and social-emotional needs. Counselor assignments may change, so use the current Counseling Center directory or call 714-628-5335 to reach the correct person and request a meeting.

Eligibility depends on the specific course, grade level, prerequisites, and the student’s course plan. Canyon currently offers advanced options beginning as early as ninth grade, so there is no single junior-year starting rule. Review the current Course Selection Information, the AP Program, and the IB Diploma Program, then discuss fit and workload with the student’s counselor.

Placement is based on the student’s completed coursework and the prerequisites for the next course. Because sequences and recommendations may change, consult the current course-selection materials and the student’s counselor before choosing a level.

Start with the teacher and counselor so the school can identify the academic or personal barrier and match the student with current support. Canyon’s Academic Support & Tips page provides additional guidance. For urgent safety or mental-health concerns, use the school and district crisis resources rather than waiting for an academic meeting.

Options may include summer school, online credit recovery, or another counselor-approved program. Availability and eligibility vary. The student should meet with their counselor before enrolling so the course fits the graduation plan and will be accepted for credit.

There is no single route after high school. Students considering a UC or CSU should plan for the A–G college-preparatory sequence and earn grades of C or better in those courses. Graduation requirements and college admission requirements are not identical. Students should build an individual plan with their counselor and use Canyon’s College & Career resources for four-year colleges, community colleges, career training, and military pathways.

Yes. OUSD offers dual-enrollment opportunities, and some courses may also apply toward high-school graduation requirements. Students must meet with their Canyon counselor before enrolling so they understand approvals, forms, credit, and how the class fits their plan. See OUSD’s Academic Counseling Information.

California’s current state program includes grade 11 English language arts and mathematics assessments, plus a science assessment administered once in high school. SAT and ACT policies vary by college and can change, so students should check each institution’s current requirements. SAT Subject Tests no longer exist. Use OUSD’s assessment information and Canyon’s college-planning resources for current guidance.

Begin with the teacher, who has the most direct knowledge of the class and concern. If the issue remains unresolved, contact the student’s counselor; an administrator can be included when appropriate. Use the Staff Directory or call the main office at 714-532-8000.

Requirements, clearance, tryouts, camps, and coach contacts vary by sport and season. Use the official Canyon Athletics site for current registration and team information. A summer camp can help a student learn about a program, but the current team or coach should be the source for participation requirements.
