Calabasas residents are zoned to schools in the Las Virgenes Unified School District, one of the highest ranked districts in the state. The district also serves primarily the nearby cities of Agoura Hills, Bell Canyon, and Hidden Hills.
From 1997 to 2001 and from 2005 to 2009, Calabasas High School had hired a new principal at the beginning of every school year.
In January 2004, Alice C. Stelle Middle School was opened on the corner of Mulholland Highway and Paul Revere Road to serve the eastern half of the city. The western half is served by Arthur E. Wright Middle School on Las Virgenes Road, which prior to 2004, was the city's only middle school.
Calabasas is also home to the private Viewpoint School and Calmont School. It is also home to the elementary schools Chaparral, Round Meadow, Lupin Hill, and Bay Laurel.
