Story

Angeles Workshop School is a progressive private middle and high school for students seeking an authentic education that goes beyond the conventional. We are a small school environment where learners grow through real-world experience and application, informed by a deep love and respect for themselves, each other, and the greater community as a whole.

Angeles Workshop School provides an experiential, humanistic education-based program thatforgoes many of the trappings of traditional school in exchange for true ownership of the learning process: choice and control are responsibly shared with all learners, and students self-evaluate in order to best understand and value their individual learning processes. Our learners' experiences go far beyond the walls of the classroom, expanding their educational and social interactions.

Angeles Workshop School believes that the cognitive and the affective are indivisible-- simply put, a learner's feelings and concerns, as well as their interests, are wholly tied into how effectively they think and learn. This is why we design and adapt our curricula around our learners, finding effective alternatives to standard assignments and tests.

Within this exciting approach, our teachers maintain a dynamic curriculum rich with avenues for rigorous inquiry, built around challenging content and skillsets that prepare learners for real success in higher education, the workplace, and our ever-changing world.
