At CCS, your child is actively engaged in their learning- they explore topics with a hands-on approach that goes further to strengthen understanding than traditional methods. Subjects are enthusiastically explored in classrooms and specialist's studios to provide multiple access points to mastery.

Education for democracy was a founding principle of our school and can be seen in action from Kindergarten through sixth grade. Students are encouraged to be invested in their immediate and broader communities, inspiring future disruptors and dynamic dinner table conversations.

Inspired by the work of John Dewey, students build methods for acquiring and applying specific knowledge based on what works for them. They matriculate to LA's best middle schools and become leaders in technology, the arts, and business by doing it their way, with our help.

Today's students have grown up in an ever-changing world filled with twists and turns, yet they lead with compassion and a desire to help. CCS creates a meaningful community for students and their families by encouraging cultural and environmental based projects, myriad avenues for volunteerism, and a revolving calendar of events.

By providing financial aid to almost 35% of our families, CCS ensures a diversity, complexity, and breadth of community that is often not seen in private schools. Our campus is a tree-strewn enclave at the intersection of Sherman Oaks and Van Nuys that provides a variety of learning spaces and encourages imaginative play.

Children’s Community School is committed to following best health and safety practices as they relate to all aspects of a child’s well being, including mitigating the contraction and spread of COVID-19. We align our protocols with the LA County Department of Public Health, whose most recent guidelines for K-12 schools can be found here.
