Hi-
I'm starting to research schools in LA and I'm wondering if you wouldn't mind chiming in with a starting point. I'm looking for most likely a private school but wouldn't say no to a good public. I want something with small class size and a great focus on academics as well as emotional IQ. My children have tested to be gifted but I can go either way if the school is good. I am definitely looking for a school with a strong math program but also allows children to explore science, the arts, sports, language, chess, debate, robotics, etc. After school sports would be wonderful. I would love a smaller school but again, if it is the right place, that is not so important. I have two children- one currently in K and one currently in 3rd. I'm sure they are above grade level for the average public system so I am looking for something where they will fit in. I am interested in finding a school with like minded peers- a place where learning is important and exciting to the kids. I have not been to LA so I am open to all suggestions. Obviously, I want to be in a safe, family friendly area.
I really appreciate any help on this. I started my search and there are thousands of schools in Los Angeles- I was a bit overwhelmed!
Thanks so much.
