Larchmont Charter School

Our goal is to inspire lifelong healthy habits and a passion to preserve the planet in our students. Larchmont takes a whole child, diverse by design, constructivist, inquiry-based approach to education. We wish to grow our Edible Schoolyard (ESY) curriculum to increase mastery of important eco-literacy concepts, TK-12. We propose to align our ESY programs and curriculum and plant the seeds of awareness and activism to give all students the hands-on wonder and scientific understanding of nourishing a garden to grow and changing the world.

REAL (Relate, Engage, and Learn) SCHOOL for LA Kids will codify and amplify a consistent, Whole Child approach for teachers of all grade levels TK-12. By codifying the constructivist approach and building a teacher leadership training program, we can reach more students and help unite public charter schools and LAUSD. This plan builds on LA 2050’s vision of a brighter future, with every one of our youngest Angelenos seen, heard, nurtured, understood, and challenged to become a creative, analytical thinker and a socially responsible innovator.

Larchmont Social Justice Alliance allows youth to speak up for social justice through our poetry slam competition, Larchmont Charter School,s literary magazine, and a firestorm of social media.
