As an alum of Curtis and now a parent, I can see the incredible impact Meera has had on the Curtis community. Not only is she personally invested in the school, as a parent, but also as a head of school. She is warm and is one of the most involved heads of school I have ever seen. She makes a point to get to know every student on campus and has an open door policy for ALL families on campus. She has turned Curtis into one of the top schools that feeds into every elite LA high school. Curtis students are well rounded, well behaved, adaptable, and more than prepared for middle/ high school. I feel so fortunate to have the opportunity to send my kids to Curtis and I hope Meera continues to lead the school for many years to come. Curtis is such a special space and you are lucky if you are able to experience it firsthand!

There is so much thoughtfulness and care put into every decision made. The teachers and staff absolutely know my child inside and out. I used to get these calls from my kid at school - she was upset, stressed, having a hard day. Now - I never ever get a call like that. (If you know, you know) I had no idea how hard my daughter's days were at regular school. She was always grumpy and anxious. After the first day at Westmark she was lighthearted, happy! I forgot she could be that way! Her confidence in her academic abilities is growing all the time there. I wish I would have moved her there sooner. It is truly a remarkable place. Every teacher (even like science and PE!) are trained in teaching kids with learning differences. My daughter gets support ALL DAY long, not just during the few minutes she was pulled out before. If your child has a learning difference, I really recommend you go see the school - it is hard to describe how amazing and transformative it is.

If it's not the right school environment for a child, or family, they will be honest. They have changed my daughter's life and given her the skills to transition into her choice of universities. The staff and administration have a child-first approach, while teaching students to be their own advocates. An added perk for high schoolers, Westmark's talented college advisor! She goes above and beyond in her dedication to the juniors and seniors.

Westland makes space for just that - in a safe, nurturing, and deeply respectful environment where curiosity is encouraged, individuality is celebrated, and community is built with intention. The teachers are extraordinary in how they meet each child where they are, guiding them to grow not just academically but socially and emotionally. The emphasis on collaboration, creativity, and problem-solving prepared our two older children to transition confidently into middle school, where they continue to thrive. Our third child is right behind them and growing with the same confidence, curiosity, and love of learning that we know will carry forward. Westland is more than a school - it's a community that partners with families to raise thoughtful, capable, and kind young people. We could not imagine a better foundation for our children.

The family community is cohesive and tight-knit, in part due to the engagement that the school requires, and this plays as important a role in creating the Westland kids that middle and high school admission directors selectively seek; the kids at Westland are part of a community of engagement and service at school, for school, and amongst the broader community. In this technological moment, the importance of progressive education has never been higher, and Westland is the best progressive school in West LA. Worth the application though difficult to get into due to small class sizes!

The families that attend Wise have similar values and goals for their children and bring diversity and warmth to the community with their cultural backgrounds. The administration has been extremely supportive during the pandemic, with a flexible and balanced approach to ensure as normal as possible of an elementary school experience for the kids. The head of school communicates with parents on a weekly basis to ensure transparency as well as to accept feedback from the community. Wise is a leader amongst other schools, tuned-in with the needs of like-minded families and operating from a place of reason. I know our children will leave Wise with a strong sense of self and confidence as kind young adults armed both academically and socially to handle whatever lies ahead.

They work so incredibly hard to make sure that all children are getting the best possible education! All the while teaching our children how to be good people in the world. I love this school and community and feel beyond blessed to be apart of it as do my children. We actually left for a short bit because I live next to a public school. We ran back as quickly as we could there is just no comparison to private school verses public on so many levels but the one I appreciate the most is my kids are thriving at Wise because the entire staff loves what they do from the front security to the lovely girls in the front office. This is a very special community and school where everyone is happy and living their best lives.
