Westland School is an independent K–6 elementary school founded in 1949 on a hillside Los Angeles campus, widely recognized as a pioneer in progressive education. The school uses a social studies–based curriculum that integrates language arts, math, science, visual arts, music, and woodworking through hands-on, noncompetitive, child-centered learning. The campus includes gardens, fields, a pond, and an outdoor woodworking studio; head teachers average 24 years of experience; and a Flexible Tuition program served 37% of families in the most recent school year.
