Review school

Carlthorp School, established in 1939, is the oldest independent school in Santa Monica. Though the breadth of our curriculum has radically expanded in the last sixty-five years, our basic philosophy remains the same; we focus on the child as a whole, helping them to grow academically, socially, and ethically - all within the framework of a traditionally academic school.

Here are a dozen or so girls' schools' public thoughts about themselves and their missions.

Make Summer a Special Time!
If you have children in private school, then you are most likely looking at three months, perhaps even longer, which you must fill with activities of one kind or another during the long summer break.
