For kindergarten and most of my first grade year, I remember I went to Sherman Oaks Elementary. That school was fine, nothing special. For a few days I went to another school which I have forgotten the name of. But I remember - when I was a kid and joined Warner, my life changed for the better. The teachers were SO NICE TO ME AND MY PARENTS. The buildings here are much better than in any other public school. It's located in a great, safe neighbourhood too. I'm honestly starting to think that the negative reviews on this place were written by people who DIDN'T EVEN GO HERE... because my family experienced NONE of those bad things. This truly was a great experience, and as I move on to graduating high school soon, Warner will always be in my mind.

Milken is constantly coming up with new programs, new ways of doing things, and always trying to improve and expand on the great things they are already providing. Finance and Entrepreneurship is one of the signature programs and our son as a 7th grader was able to get a little taste of it and is excited to learn more. Milken is also passionate about growing the athletic program and has already added a new weight room and indoor training facility at the new campus. They are raising the future Jewish leadership of our country, and we couldn't be happier to be a part of Milken!

My son is involved in sports, robotics, service learning, high-level classes and music. He is busy every day of the week and loving every minute of it. Our younger kids have already told us that they don't want to look anywhere else for high school. We couldn't be happier.

Yes, there…read moreis a lot of money at this school and some of the parents and students remind everyone of the whole who-has-what mentality but my kiddo who is on financial aid has had no problem finding like minded classmates to bond and form relationships with. I can't speak about drop off or pick up lanes because my kid takes a bus, but i will say they do have sunscreen dispensers by the soccer field and they seemed to have been there through out the school year and into summer. The campus is small and they have multiple security staff located at both gates, which is a big relief with all the violence that has happened on campuses all over the country. Everyone is friendly and professional. The girls on the volleyball team are on campus usually pretty late so we've met a lot of the supporting staff who are also very approachable and genuine. Over all I would recommend this school to friends. She's the youngest of six, so this experience has been a total game changer and I understand the desire for private schools who can provide the support and guidance that Marlborough has. The good news is they offer opportunities for students who may not all have the same means. They have uniform swap day where girls can donate their gently used skirts to be donated to new students and students who just do not feel the need or have the finances to buy new. Over all, we have found a wonderful home here. Our youngest is thriving and we couldn't be more grateful!

When I first toured the school I mentioned to a friend that I felt like I was on Cheers, "where…read moreeverybody knows your name." I thought this was my own unique experience but turns out, it's not! The Cheers analogy is a common one when describing Pressman. Pressman is a place you walk into and feel as though you're receiving a warm hug. You'll know your kids are being cared for and cared about, thought of, and raised in a way that feels like an extension of your own home. More than a school, Pressman is a community. Head of school Dr. Rothblum is a role model, and her kind, strong leadership and dedication to learning is apparent at all levels. Pressman was one of the first schools in LA County to receive a waiver to return to school onsite during the pandemic which was no small feat and took careful planning, imagination, and fortitude. She is involved in making carline run smoothly, ensuring adequate security around the building. She knows the name of every child. She's an inspiring leader for the parents and the kids. Watching her speak to kids is like watching a magical wizard. The kids are engaged, listen, follow directions, and learn. I remember being a kid and feeling despondent on Sunday nights, the "Sunday blues," knowing I'd have to go to school the next day. My kids do not experience this. Quite conversely, they ask if they "get" to go to school. They have developed a love of learning, an affinity for the classroom and for their community. My kids will look back at their childhoods with warm memories of school, which makes the money worth spending.

My closest friends are parents here, and not just those in my kids' grades, but across the school. There are endless opportunities to connect, show up for one another, and keep learning as adults too. And now, the real reason we're all here: the kids. My husband and I wanted a school where our children would genuinely love learning, and that's 100% what we've found. The child-centered, inquiry-based approach means kids are curious, engaged, and invested. They have a voice in what they're learning and how they learn it, which makes it stick. We also deeply value the anti-bias curriculum. From the get-go, children learn about differences, talk about them openly, and celebrate them. By the time students leave in 6th grade, they're not only confident, joyful learners, they're thoughtful advocates for themselves and others. Honestly, what more could you ask for? But there is more! An all-school Circus with unicycling, tightrope walking, etc. In-house support for kids with learning differences. Opportunities for the kids to safely gain confidence speaking and presenting their work to the entire community. An all-school Campout. The coolest, most inspiring artwork you've ever seen kids produce. A super cool Hogwarts style, historic campus. A parking lot! A buddy system where the older kids look out for the younger ones. The coziest library. An inspiring music room with instruments galore. The cutest little kinder cottage you ever did see. A beautiful award winning (seriously) outdoor area. Daily P.E. I could go on, but it's starting to get braggy (and that, we're not). If you want a special, low-key amazing boutique school and community experience, come to The Oaks!
