Overview
Los Altos Brethren School was founded in 1972. Our preschool was established first, followed by our kindergarten and then our elementary school.
We provide a solid, well-rounded education to children. Our school offers a developmentally based preschool program for three- and four-year-olds.
Our elementary school offers a strong academic curriculum based on a developmentally appropriate philosophy.
All teaching is based upon God's Word, the Bible, and students are encouraged to apply its principles to their own lives. All instruction is provided by qualified, experienced, and dedicated Christian teachers who strive to impart knowledge that is academically sound and Biblically based.
Students learn of the Bible's relevancy not only to subjects studied, but, more importantly, to their daily lives.
We are a private Christian school serving students in preschool8th grade in the Long Beach, Signal Hill, Lakewood, Los Alamitos, Seal Beach, and Cypress areas.
Our high-performing school offers a well-rounded Christian education in small classes of diverse backgrounds and ethnicities.
We foster an environment where students grow spiritually, academically, socially, and physically to learn about their place in this world and become what God has made them to be.
This is combined with our Future Focused Education. Please contact the school directly for more information.
