- 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 seventy-nine years, our basic philosophy remains the same; we focus on the child as a whole, helping each to grow intellectually, socially, and ethically - and to develop outstanding work habits- all within the framework of a warm, diverse, enaging, traditionally academic school.
- Our Code-of Conduct, which encourages all Carlthorp constiutents to strive for excellence and to respect themselves and others, is the cornerstone of our community.
