School Reviews
5 7/25/2025
Our child just completed their kindergarten year, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From day one, we felt welcomed, supported, and confident that our child was in the right place. The teachers are warm, attentive, and truly dedicated to nurturing the whole child, not just academically, but socially and emotionally as well. The small class sizes meant our child received individual attention and felt known and seen. We've seen tremendous growth, not only in early literacy and math skills, but also in confidence, independence, and kindness toward others. Laurel Hall's emphasis on character development, strong communication between school and home, and a genuine sense of community have made this first year so special for our family. We're excited to continue the journey here and feel lucky to have found such a caring and enriching environment for our child.

As a parent who recently enrolled my 5th grader at Laurel Hall School after transitioning from LAUSD, I am incredibly impressed with the experience so far. The academic rigor is top-notch, and the small class sizes allow for personalized attention, which has made a noticeable difference in my child's learning. The electives are outstanding, offering a wide range of opportunities in subjects like music, art, and graphic design that really engage my child's interests. The teachers are passionate, supportive, and truly dedicated to helping students succeed. Laurel Hall has been a fantastic choice, and I'm excited for my child's growth here.

A fantastic choice of private school in the Valley. Small class sizes, purposeful instruction, and a rich variety of electives and sports for the students. The teachers are passionate about what they do, and the administration is extremely knowledgeable and responsive.

There have been some noteworthy changes in LHS programs this year. The Project Lab is fantastic. This is the type of learning environment all schools should have. Its not the 'sit down & be quiet'' environment! Great for my son. They have a teacher dedicated to that program, and a teacher dedicated to math support. The 5th graders (my sons grade) are actually building a boat to launch and to monitor is navigation. Wow! The sports program is well rounded and allows 4th grade and up to compete. My family couldn't have made a better decision that to move to Laurel Hall. My son is happy to go to school so I am a happy mom.
Endorse Laurel Hall School. Endorsements should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
