Please help Sycamore School rebuild and restore hope to our community after the devastating Palisades fire.
While we are deeply grateful to the incredible first responders who worked to save our buildings, our campus has experienced damage that needs to be resolved before our students and staff can safely return. Meanwhile, many of our families have also suffered the heartbreaking loss of their homes. Your generosity will expedite our process of providing a place where children can learn, grow and feel safe.
Together, we can bring our community back stronger than ever. Thank you for your support.
At Sycamore, we help children develop into self-directed learners and creative problem solvers who can thrive in a complex and evolving world.
We're based in Las Flores Canyon in Malibu with families attending from across Los Angeles. Our program and curriculum runs from Transitional Kindergarten to 5th Grade.
Our Pillars
-
Engaging
Every learner is fully engaged emotionally, intellectually, and physically in their education. Learning is playful, relevant, project-based, and challenging, fostering active, intrinsically motivated learners who feel autonomous and empowered.
-
Continuous
Every learner knows that scholarship extends beyond school. Opportunities to observe, question, and synthesize are everywhere, and recognizing them is key. Continuous education validates the individuality and omnipresence of learning.
-
Future Focused
Every learner gains skills to navigate a dynamic world—teamwork, critical thinking, and self-direction. Observance, skepticism, curiosity, persistence, and creativity are vital. Learners must be empowered to shape their own futures.
Our Community
The Sycamore School has been built by an entrepreneurial community of educators and families to help kids enhance their creativity, develop first principle reasoning and to create their own unique lenses for navigating, building and improving their world.
"The Sycamore School and community is the elementary experience we've been searching for."
- Larissa, Parent
