The Westland School (Los Angeles)

Since its founding in 1949, Westland has been defined by its commitment to progressive education, focusing on a curriculum that is both child-centered and deeply rooted in social studies.

Rather than traditional rote learning, the school emphasizes a hands-on approach designed to spark a lifelong curiosity and love of learning in its students. Westland is currently accredited by the California Association of Independent Schools (CAIS), a status it maintains through 2031.
