ABOUT
OUR SCHOOL
Los Altos Brethren
School was founded in 1972. Our preschool was established first, followed by
our kindergarten and then our elementary school. The school has been at its
original location since its inception.
The
campus is located one mile north of California State University Long Beach,
with easy access to both the 405 and 605 freeways.
Our
school has a long and distinguished history of serving the community and of
providing a solid, well-rounded education for children. A great number of our
graduates have gone on to excel at both the high school and college levels,
and have become respected members of their professions and communities. Perhaps
the ultimate reflection on our school's success is that former graduates are
now bringing their own children to be educated and nurtured at our school.
Our
school offers a developmentally based preschool program for three- and four-year-olds.
The half-day classroom program can be augmented by daycare between the hours
of 7:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. two, three, or five days a week.
Our
developmentally appropriate half-day kindergarten can also be extended to a
full day program (7:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.).
Our
elementary school offers a strong academic curriculum based on a developmentally
appropriate philosophy. All teaching is based upon God's Word, the Bible, and
students are encouraged to apply its principles to their own lives.
A
key advantage of having the preschool, kindergarten, and elementary school on
the same campus is that the older students value school traditions and take
responsibility for helping younger children. The relatively small enrollment
enables our students to make and maintain connections with their peers and students
in other grades, as well as faculty and staff.
All
instruction is provided by qualified, experienced, and dedicated Christian teachers
who strive to impart knowledge that is academically sound and Biblically based.
Students learn of the Bible's relevancy not only to subjects studied, butmore
importantlyto their daily lives.
Los Altos Brethren School is a ministry of Los Altos Brethren Church. We also
are a member school of the Greater Long Beach Christian Schools and the Association
of Christian Schools International (ACSI)

cordially invite you to become acquainted with our school and its programs.
