In September 1994, The Willows Community School opened its doors to 93 students on a single building campus in Culver City’s Hayden Tract. Now, three decades later, The Willows campus extends across four acres with five buildings and educates 480 students annually.
In honor of this milestone year, the Willows begins a yearlong celebration commemorating its balanced progressive educational program and distinctive contributions to Los Angeles as a center for learning, innovation and creative thought.
We reaffirm our commitment to challenge, inspire and nurture our students to succeed as leaders, citizens and lifelong learners, and will highlight the accomplishments of our alumni. We also will celebrate our Ideas@TheWillows Speaker Series that offers all of Los Angeles parenting, educational and creative programming and our role as a Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence RULER Spotlight School, mentoring and supporting other peer schools in the development of social emotional learning.
“Community is an intentional part of our name,” said Founding Head of School Lisa Rosenstein. “This year our schoolwide theme, HOPE, will be a call to action to celebrate all people, to see the world with new perspectives and to recognize what connects us to people everywhere.”
Our Ideas@TheWillows Speaker Series opens free of charge to all of Los Angeles with internationally acclaimed psychologist, New York Times bestselling author Michael Thompson on Tuesday, October 1, at 7 p.m. on The Willows campus, 8509 Higuera Street, Culver City. The event is free to attend but RSVP is required at thewillows.org/community/events.
