#23 Best Private K-12 Schools in Los Angeles Area
Senior: After 14 years at WSOC, I can confidently say that my school has better prepared me for my future than other high schools could have. WSOC teaches a holistic style, incorporating a diverse range of multicultural and multi-perspective activities within mandatory art, science, math, English, and history classes. In my metalworking class, we studied techniques of African tribal smithing, and in Shakespeare, we read Hamlet while examining the language and making comparisons to modern-day mental health conversations. I wasn't just taught the facts - I was empowered to use the tools given to me to create change. After reading an article in my Modern World History class about the extreme lack of feminine products in developing countries, I started a women's nonprofit called Eve to fund donations of hygiene products to shelters in my hometown. This project began with the push towards curiosity that WSOC offered me, and ended in a desire for change that still grows in me today.
