Saint Gerard Majella Atelier, Los Angeles

Our mission is to provide authentic learning experiences in a context that is interesting to the children. We aim to deepen the children’s curiosity by providing them the opportunity to find answers on their own and wondering with them. Every member of our community feels a sense of belonging and demonstrates respect for one other and our environment. The teachers work with the children to continually enhance essential skills such as focus, perspective taking, negotiation, effective communication, establishing connections, problem solving, risk taking, and self-directed engaged learning. All of this is conducted with the image of the child as a capable, intelligent, powerful human being.
