New Roads School was founded in 1995 with the goal of creating a diverse and equitable educational environment that mirrors the demographic of Los Angeles. While it follows an American preparatory model, the school’s curriculum is deeply influenced by global perspectives and social justice themes. The school encourages students to challenge the status quo and engage with the world as empathetic and informed global citizens.
Located in the vibrant community of Santa Monica, New Roads provides a modern, eco-friendly campus that supports a wide range of academic and extracurricular pursuits. The school is particularly known for its 'Workshop' approach, which promotes inquiry-based learning, creative problem-solving, and collaborative projects. This pedagogical style prepares students for the complexities of the modern workforce and international environments.
New Roads offers various international exchange programs and service-learning trips that allow students to experience different cultures firsthand. The school's facilities include a world-class performing arts center, collaborative workspaces, and science labs. It remains a top choice for families seeking a progressive, internationally-minded education in Southern California.
