Our child has been at Larchmont since kinder and has thrived. He went to the elementary Fairfax campus, a smaller campus with spacious classrooms, and he has loved the bigger Selma campus too. The leadership works hard to create an accessible and friendly atmosphere for the students and parents so there is a strong sense of community. The admin is collaborative and value parent input. The teachers are nurturing and attentive and know when to give students more help or more of a challenge. There are many enrichment classes (art, music, gardening, sports teams, band), a social-emotional curriculum and clubs. Most kids eat the (optional) lunch prepared in the Fairfax kitchen and is SO good. At Selma, our child has delved deeper into academics and developed new interests like government and digital media in clubs. We have seen his intellectual curiosity and independence grow and we look forward to the La Fayette Campus!

What I love about Larchmont is how diverse is their community and how you get to know pretty much everyone in your grade level. They are all kind and supportive. When talking about academics, the teachers do everything they can to help their students raise their grade before the end of the semester. The school has a lot of fun activities and trips for their students. When talking about their food, the school provides foods such as salads, sandwiches, pasta, and more!

I loved my time at LCS. The small student body allows you to know everyone, and the opportunities for leadership are abundant. The teachers and staff work tirelessly to make sure students are happy and enjoying their time at high school. High school isn't easy, and going to Larchmont made it easier. The academics aren't cutthroat, and it's easy for anyone to take AP classes if they'd like to. There's a good school/life balance. Public transportation is accessible, and the community of parents makes it easy to find a carpool. Although the building for the high school isn't the best, Larchmont truly tries to make the best of it and are constantly trying to improve the space. I recommend this school for students looking for closer attention from teachers and staff, and like feeling a sense of community.
