  • Hollywood Schoolhouse has been an incredible experience for our family. The school is academically one of the strongest environments for our math-gifted child, but allows him to still be a kid and have fun. Everyone knows everyone and the community is deep and strong. And it was the only of the private schools we looked at that did not just talk about diversity but actually incorporates meaningful racial and socioeconomic diversity into the student base - our child has real friendships that are not just centered around one type of family. Our son loves playing sports at HSH, adores the STEM curriculum, and even likes trying performing arts! The teachers are incredible and he has had two full-time teachers for 14-17 students each year - something we could not find anywhere else in practice.

  • We were nervous about selecting an elementary school for our two boys, looking at charter schools, independent schools and religious schools. But Hollywood Schoolhouse was far and away the best choice for our sons and our family and we are thrilled with our decision after two years here. Unlike other schools that would not stop talking about diversity and then are predominantly the same race and income levels across the school, HSH actually walks the talk and our children are friends with students across racial and socioeconomic levels. Our oldest son is incredibly gifted and the school will give him extra challenging math and reading lessons and break him out with other students at a similar level. His teacher/student ratio is 7:1, profoundly better than the 30:1 at our local public elementary school. And the students are kind to one another. I am not surprised HSH students matriculate to great private middle schools all the way to the top tier independent schools like Harvard Westlake and Campbell Hall. The kids get to be kids and have fun every day with teachers who ALL know their name and in a way that feels customized to their unique needs.

  • We have two kids at the Hollywood Schoolhouse, and have been there for 5 years now. It is such a warm, welcoming community and our kids just love it. Yes, it has great academics, but it also has an emphasis on social emotional learning, which is so important in preschool and elementary. The kids who graduate are impressive, thoughtful, and well informed about the world and their ability to make a difference. Love the school and can't recommend it more!

  • Our family was on the hunt for a school where our child would feel supported and safe. With our daughter starting at 2nd grade we were nervous to have her start at a new school due to relationships already created and the fear of her feeling excluded. Hollywood Schoolhouse went highly recommended by a friend and the first informational meeting we attended we were sold. The faculty is so wonderful and caring. They really believe in bringing out the best for the children as well as nourishing each unique need. I have never felt so supported by any community and we truly feel like we are in a dream with all of the care and love given by HSH. Our daughter never felt like an outsider or excluded since day 1. She has been thriving and is excited to continue her educational journey. My only regret about our daughter attending this school is that we didn’t come sooner!

  • We have two children that are students at HSH. Last school year my husband and I both worked late every night and the earliest we could pick up our kids was when the school and it’s after-care program closed at 6pm. That is a long day for anyone, especially a 4 year old, but never-fail, EVERY SINGLE TIME we picked them up, they were so disappointed… “Ugh! You came too early again!” And honestly, I don't blame them. If I had the chance to spend all day at HSH, I would too. The admin, teachers, staff and other Schoolhouse families have created the most uplifting, supportive, fun and enriching environment that I've ever had the chance to be a part of.

  • Hollywood Schoolhouse has been a gift to our family. The school is such an accepting, loving place that it feels more like a home away from home than a school. Our kids are sad on the last day of school, and they are thrilled to go back in September, which says it all. When I asked my kids what they’d like to say about the school, one said, “It’s just amazing,” and the other one said, “All the teachers are kind and wonderful." Because they really are.

  • Hollywood Schoolhouse has created a nurturing, safe, and dynamic environment that encourages participation and feedback that can be applied to drive continuous improvement. The early education curriculum is an intentional mix of academic and fun that prioritizes individualization. The teachers are deeply in tune with what each student needs and are responsive to make changes as need to ensure each child is thriving and growing. We would highly recommend Hollywood Schoolhouse to any family looking for a school that creates a second home for their child and pushes them to be the best they can be.

  • All we want as parents is a place where our kids feel seen, loved, educated, and taught how to be responsible caring members of society. As crazy as the world around us gets, it comforts me to know that the moment we walk through the gates of Hollywood Schoolhouse, our daughter will be spending most of her day doing just that. From the administration, to the faculty, to the parent community, Hollywood Schoolhouse is everything we’ve wanted for our daughter and ourselves.

  • We are the parents of two children at the Hollywood Schoolhouse and have been part of the Schoolhouse community for almost seven years. Our children have different learning styles and social emotional strengths and both have thrived at the Hollywood Schoolhouse. The academic support provided at the Schoolhouse has made them both avid and precocious readers and confident in math. Children at the Schoolhouse are academically strong, kind, and confident. The community is welcoming and warm. The teachers are excellent and deeply committed to the school. We could not be happier.

  • Hollywood Schoolhouse is one of the most special places we were lucky enough to find. Once you walk in the fortress you feel you have passed into somewhere magical. Our kids attended HSH for a combined total of 12 years. The teachers and entire staff are very warm. You feel like a part of their family. The head of school has been on staff as some capacity for over 30 years. There are teachers that have been there for just as long. Small class sizes with individual attention. My children are better humans for having been a part of HSH.

  • Both of my children went to Hollywood Schoolhouse from preschool until they graduated in the 6th Grade. Faculty and staff were like a second family to them. They were nurturing and welcoming every step of the way. My children were ready to take the next step to secondary school; not just academically but also on a social and emotional level. The leaders that they have become is thanks entirely to the Hollywood Schoolhouse community.

  • As a parent, I have had multiple children go through the program from Preschool until 6th grade. I have watched the school grow and blossom. At its core, it is a warm and nurturing place where children are respected. My children all went on to exceptional secondary schools and 4-year universities. They excel in their careers and life. I believe that the foundation at Hollywood Schoolhouse sets our children up for readiness in academics and life skills. I loved being a part of this amazing community and will continue to support them and their efforts. I highly recommend this school!

  • Hollywood Schoolhouse is the best place I could have ever imagined I would find for my son's nine years of early education. It was where we found a diverse community of students, faculty and parents that really felt like an extended family. As a working mother I often travelled, and it gave me an incredible amount of comfort knowing the teachers were kind and loving and truly knew all of our kids. I am incredibly thankful to remain part of this loving and inspiring place, and nearly 5 year later some of our closest friends are those we met at HSH. It is a truly special place.

  • Ten years at HSH shaped, nurtured, and provided an environment that instilled a love for learning and a space to explore, question, and grow. The school offers a community of teachers and administrators dedicated to your child’s success. It is student-centered and your child will be accepted and valued as an individual, and supported by teachers and students. Each year at HSH was a new adventure in learning, friendships, encouragement, and achievements. At HSH, your child will, without a doubt, learn alongside bright, motivated, high achieving peers. HSH is also a community where students learn and understand the inherent dignity of the person, the uniqueness of their peers, and the motivation to look out for each other.

  • Hollywood Schoolhouse is a great school located in the middle of Hollywood. When we walked on campus we could feel the warmness throughout. I have two kids and both of them loved attending school there. It's been great to see the school become more diverse over our time there. We participated in all school events, including the sports league, after-school classes, and the school musical. A couple of years ago the Parent Association helped to update the STEAM space & our kids loved every bit of the new space. I also volunteered on the PA for three years in a row. The staff, parents, and students were always kind. We couldn't recommend the school enough.

  • Hollywood Schoolhouse is a wonderful combination of academic excellence and nurturing kindness. The approach to the emotional wellness of each student - promoting kindness and inclusion is what was most appealing to us when looking for a school for our son. The teachers, staff and administrators are all actively accessible. The community of parents is wonderful. It’s a fun environment for the kids and the parents alike. My son has developed deep and close friendships as have my husband and me. We feel lucky to be part of such a welcoming community.

  • HSH has been the scholastic home to both our sons, and we couldn't have hoped for a more nurturing, impressive education. The school manages an incredibly difficult balancing act. It's academically rigorous, and always on the cutting edge of learning techniques. Yet it also prioritizes emotional development and kindness above all else. It's diverse and welcoming, a true family... but that family extends beyond the school and its families, to the surrounding neighborhoods, the city... and further. It feels like the curriculum is designed not just to teach the important academic milestones, but also prepare the children to be a part of the bigger world. It encourages empathy in all matters, and we see it in our own kids every day. The incredible staff manage to achieve all of the above with a sense of fun and a ton of humor. The last year has been incredibly difficult, but the sense of community in HSH has only grown stronger through it all. It's a brilliant, beautiful school.

  • Hollywood Schoolhouse is a fantastic early childhood and elementary school where students are excited to learn, known by name, and seen/appreciated for their unique individuality. I have two boys currently attending HSH, and they are so happy. My older started in Kinder and my younger in Preschool. My older quickly made friends and teachers met him where he was in his educational journey. HSH provided the academic rigor I was looking for and by the end of Kinder, he was reading. At the same, they make an effort not to overwhelm or burnout our kids. My children never complain about the amount of homework they get, and my younger son actually enjoys it; he has a weekly packet. They offer numerous electives including weekly swim, Spanish, and performance, as well as others like chess, improv, and bucket drumming. Overall, if you are looking for a warm, welcoming, and respectful environment, HSH is the school for you. The HSH community is amazing, open, and welcoming.
