Private School Village

Private School Village (PSV) cultivates the power of community to positively transform the private school experience for Black and brown families so that students fully thrive. ​We do this by increasing racial literacy, socialization, representation, and supporting research. (PSV is not a school but a community of families working across schools).

    Access Without Support is Not Opportunity

    Private School Village is not a school; it is a community of families working in partnership with private schools to ensure that Black and brown students thrive. Through racial literacy education, mental health programming, and cross-school community building, Private School Village creates emotionally safe, identity-affirming environments where students and families counter exclusion, reduce racial trauma, and build the confidence and support systems they need.

    Racial Socialization Is the Antidote to Isolation

    PreK-8th Grade Social Pods are organized opportunities for Black students enrolled in the same grades across Los Angeles private schools to socialize, build cultural pride, provide education, and benefit from a sense of belonging. Pods, organized by grade level, meet minimally five times throughout the year to enjoy a mix of fun and educational activities to combat the challenges of being "the only one" or one of a few in a grade. Children learn double dutch, skill-building, visit museums, celebrate Black History Month year-round, and more.
