Oak Knoll

Choosing Lycée International de Los Angeles - Pasadena campus has been a wonderful decision for our family. Starting our journey here in Preschool was truly the best choice we could have made, as it gave our child a natural, immersive head start in becoming bilingual. The transition through the years has been seamless, and now that we are looking toward the future, the bus service to the middle school at the Burbank campus is an absolute game-changer for working parents. Beyond the academics and logistics, the community is warm and inclusive, with teachers who truly care about each child's social-emotional growth. Highly recommend for any parent looking for a global perspective!

Waverly provides a wonderful and supportive environment for learning. It truly is "progressive" education. As kids mature though each grade, they return to subject matter, delving more deeply into each topic to facilitate a depth of understanding and a life long love for learning. The school itself is wonderfully diverse (in all ways!) and respectful. The Head of School is inspiring, compassionate and committed, and his leadership has had a profoundly positive impact on the students, teachers and Waverly's wider community. The Farm is a fantastic part of the school, giving kids an amazing and vital greenspace in which to learn and play. The teachers and staff share a passion for the school and its approach to education and this is evident in everything from the ways they come to truly "know" each student to the detailed narrative reports created each semester. We love Waverly and our kids are very happy at the school.

We moved our elementary aged boys here from our local public school. The turnaround we saw in our boys' perspective on school and learning was swift and profound. We went from "school is boring" and "I don't want to go to school today" at their old school to "I like everything about Saint Andrew" and "I'm sad it's Friday and the school week is almost over." The depth of sincerity and kindness we've experienced from the staff is striking. The responsiveness has been marked compared to their previous school. We're not Catholic--the spirituality and observance of faith while omnipresent has not been heavy handed. This is a sweet and supportive community that we've become deeply grateful to have found.
