The Curtis School, a private elementary school in Encino, California, is a wonderful education option for students in kindergarten through sixth grade.
Established in 1925, the Curtis School was founded by Carl Curtis and has continued providing students with an excellent education for nearly a century. Today, the school continues their long tradition of education and now proudly serves a student body of just under 500 students.
The Curtist School’s approach to learning seeks to honor childhood through extensive knowledge on child development and empowers their students by helping them cultivate a lasting passion for learning.
The Curtis School also has a deep belief in a balanced education, which they exemplify through a well rounded curriculum. While academics are, of course, a very important part of life at The Curtis School, social, emotional, and cultural learning are never put on the back burner. In fact, the curriculum at The Curtis School even includes an anti-bias framework in their curriculum to stress the importance of identity and self-reflection.
The campus facilities, such as a beautiful library with a reading patio, also aid students in their academic, physical, and artistic growth.
At The Curtis School, students can expect experiential, hands-on learning that includes overnight trips, outdoor learning, and community service. Clubs and activities, including Debate, Lego Robotics, and Book Club, help students connect with new passions and new friends at the Curtis School.
