ABOUT WALGROVE ELEMENTARY:

Located in Venice, California, home to world-renowned arts and tech scenes, we’re surrounded by innovation. To that end, we’re committed to producing inquisitive and engaged students by taking a “whole child approach” to education.

At Walgrove that means we give equal weight to the cognitive, physical, social and emotional growth of our students. We ask ourselves the following questions: Are our children confident and independent? Are our children learning the skills they need for the next steps in their education? Are our children good citizens? Do they feel safe and supported? Are they just and kind? Are they happy?

WE at Walgrove believe education is a work-in-progress; ever evolving just like our students. Learning comes from the process of problem-solving. Curious kids are motivated kids. We encourage questions, creativity and teamwork. We believe that supporting emotional and social growth goes hand-in-hand with academic success.

The Walgrove experience will lay the foundation for a lifelong love of learning.
