Seven Arrows Elementary

absolutely idyllic education. personalized and perfect for each child in the school. a tiny campus that is transformed into a cozy world of imagination and learning for the students. kids use the neighborhood as their greater campus. city park is used as playground. kids are encouraged to be citizens of the world by starting as citizens in their own town. emphasis on arts as well as academics. teachers and staff are excellent beyond measure. can’t believe how lucky we were to find this school.

We have one son at this school and can’t wait for his brother to join him next fall.
It really is an individualized program in a beautiful progressive and academic school, a perfect balance.
Our son literally skips to school every day, excited about whatever he is about to learn.
Whether it is math, science, language arts, spanish, cooking, soccer, the edible garden, lego robotics, dance; he loves it all.
Our son has blossomed. Our shy little man is now about to embark on his first ethical leadership project in front of the whole school, and he is only 6 ½ years old!
The school and community has been nothing but loving and inclusive and we thank our lucky stars we found this amazing school.
It truly is a magical place.

Both of my girls attended Seven Arrows from K to 6^th grade and it was the most magical years of our lives. The girls were engaged in their learning and learned respect, perseverance, and tolerance. The community is diverse and yet connected in the most loving way. It was truly the most outstanding experience.

This school has been an absolute gift for our family. Our first grader is incredibly engaged with the curriculum and loves going to school every day. The growth we have seen in him since entering kindergarten is nothing short of incredible. Seven Arrows’ approach is to provide a rigorous academic education in an immersive, integrated and innovative way. Kids learn in an environment supported by the arts and global cultures which fully engages them and helps them retain the material. The smallness of the school enables teachers to tailor the education plan for each child. It also allows them to be nimble in terms of offering cutting edge tools — a robotics program, a fully embraced and integrated 1:1 iPad tech program, and Singapore math to name a few. «STEAM» is not just an acronym here, it is integrated into everything they do. Supporting the academics is an incredibly caring staff of teachers and administrators who truly care about each and every child at the school. Graduates go on to the most challenging secondary schools of their choice, but most importantly, emerge as caring, well-​rounded individuals.

I have a 1^st grader at Seven Arrows. The classes are small and the school is small, with only one class per grade. Right in the heart of the Pacific Palisades, it is very easy to get to if you are on the west side. The academics are strong, but the school is made special by its ability to mold to the needs of your child. Students from different grades perform every Friday with the whole community there to cheer them on. Art, music, robotics, technology, math, all of the STEAM you need for your kid to thrive is there. Many graduates make their way to and through schools like Brentwood and Harvard-​Westlake and onto great colleges ranging from California State to Ivy League. I love it as a parent because the school gives back what you put in. If you want the basic experience it is great, but the more time you spend at the school, the more it molds to your families needs. The community has as much say in how the school is run as the administration and as a hands on parent I find the school heaven for my child and a comfort for our family.

Full disclosure: I work for Seven Arrows Elementary as an administrator, but now that my daughter entered Kindergarten and I can experience the school from this enhanced perspective, I want to validate what a wonderful school it is.
The values that characterize Seven Arrows students are deep-​rooted and genuine. SAE manages to instill these values into the students by imbuing character building into every section of the curriculum.
My 6 year old feels inspired and engaged with learning. She feels safe and nurtured by her teachers and everyone at the school, and the bonds that she has made with her peers, and that we as parents have made with the close group of Kindergarten parents and the school community at large, offer a very assuring communitarian support group.
Highlights from the program are:
Global Festivals, especially El Dia de los Muertos and the Masquerade Festival, outstanding specialty classes, i.e. Spanish, Music, Drama/​Dance, P.E., Edible Garden, Mindfulness,
Couldn’t speak more highly of the school.

Seven Arrows is an amazing independent private school focused on 21^st century learning.
My husband and I selected the school for my daughter Malia primarily because of their individualized, immersive, innovative and inspirational curriculum.
I didn’t know that along with the rigorous, demanding academics it would also have a warm, wonderful and loving community of parents, staff and educators.
The school focuses on critical thinking, collaboration & communication, skills that all children need to succeed.
Highlights include:
1) Singapore Math
2) Ethical Leadership Projects
3) Global Festivals
4) Edible Garden
5) Kuyams every Friday
and much much more!
Malia jumped to 2^nd grade from Kindergarten and the students, teachers, staff (especially) the Head of School, Margarita, Director of Admissions Omid and Dean of Students, Darren welcomed her (and our entire family) with open arms.
Malia is continually challenged with individualized reading and math programs and is also loving the enrichment programs including Italian Cooking, Chess and Robotics.
Thanks Seven Arrows (esp Omid, the Director of Admissions) for making our transition to the school an amazing experience thus far! We love it here and look forward to enrolling our younger daughter Kailani to Seven Arrows next year

Wonderful little elementary school. Very hands on and intimate. Amazing festivals! Strong elementary education with the spotlight on global studies. One of the few elementary schools to have a mandatory foreign language. Cute uniforms. Good all around.
