The 2023-24 national private school survey counts 159 students and 44 teachers, a student-teacher ratio of about 4 to 1. It has no religious affiliation and is tuition-based rather than publicly funded. Because it starts in fourth grade, it does not take children in kindergarten through third grade. The school suits a Studio City or San Fernando Valley family who wants a small nonsectarian school for the upper elementary, middle and high school years.","categories":["private-school"],"ages":{"min":9,"max":18},"grades":{"min":4,"max":12},"school":{"sector":"private","enrollment":159},"traits":{"faith":"secular","ratio":4,"feel":"A small nonsectarian private school in Studio City for grades 4 through 12, with about four students for each teacher."}}],"source":{"name":"NCES Private School Universe Survey 2023-24","fetched":"2026-10-09"},"updated":"2026-10-12","checked":null,"closed":null,"sample":false}
