Mission Statement
Westwood Charter School is an inclusive, child-centered environment where children feel safe to take risks. It is a community dedicated to educating the whole child. Our students are actively engaged in learning through a curriculum that is both developmental and experiential. Our students are challenged to construct knowledge through meaningful interactions with each other and the world. Our students are agents of change as they embrace their connections to the local and global community.
Westwood Charter School, a member of the Los Angeles Unified School District and a California Distinguished School, has been a charter school since July 26, 1993.
Description
Westwood Charter School has a great gardening program with outstanding garden space including lots of planter boxes and an outdoor classroom too! This school year, we are working on developing garden curriculum, teaching garden lessons, maintaining the garden itself, and engaging with students in grades k-3 to help instill a love for nature and growing food!
