Drew School Photo - We know that teenagers learn better and achieve more when they're in an environment where their happiness, well-being and ideas are taken into account. That's why we've spent years developing a unique and supportive culture that removes barriers to learning, boosts confidence, and sets students up to be the best learners they can be.

Westridge School Photo - Westridge is more than a school. It's a community where academic achievement goes hand in hand with becoming imaginative, independent thinkers - where students discover themselves and the world around them - where they learn what it means to make a difference.

The Bishop's School Photo - Athletics are more than healthy competition at Bishop's. They are a way of life. League titles are terrific (and we have plenty), but we cheer just as loudly for that first at-bat and the last runner in, because we want you in the game. Any game. And not just for now, but for good.
