Idyllwild School is very fortunate to have a high rate of parental involvement and volunteerism from many special community members.

Our PTA has a very large board of directors and an incredible grant-funded program called "smARTS", which promotes visual and performing arts in the classrooms. Local artists (many professional) visit our students on Friday mornings to introduce an art project and assist students in completing their own artistic endeavor. At the middle school level, art is taught in conjunction with the current curriculum being taught in the classroom.

The Idyllwild School Booster Club - a parent group - raises funds for middle school outdoor education programs such as Joshua Tree, Catalina and AstroCamp.
