Manzanita School and Institute, established in 2014, is a K-12 independent college preparatory school nestled in the Santa Monica mountains, accredited by WASC. The school challenges traditional education models by offering a distinctive indoor-outdoor curriculum that seamlessly integrates academics, land stewardship, and local ecology on its expansive 21-acre campus.
Situated at the base of untamed chaparral, Manzanita provides a unique learning environment, serving as a natural science laboratory, historical landscape, artist's haven, and geologist's paradise. The awe-inspiring rock formations surrounding the campus inspire a sense of wonder and endless possibilities for exploration and discovery.
Students at Manzanita benefit from a holistic educational experience that emphasizes critical thinking, interpersonal skills, and a deep connection to nature. The school's farm-to-table meal program, sourced from their permaculture farm, fosters resilience and collective responsibility among students, enhancing their understanding of sustainability and stewardship.
