Sequoyah high school was the best decision I have made for my high school career. It helped me build my readiness for the real world, my talking skills, my writing skills, and other academic worries I had. I made life long friends from this school, and the rest feels like a community that I will always search for. If there was something I would change, I would implement a good food service.

The environment they create there is unlike any other school and we've visited all of them. Our 5 y.o. son can't wait to go every day and is learning like a sponge. More importantly, they really focus on teaching kids how to care for and about each other and to embrace all of our differences. I honestly tear up at almost all the functions I go to, it's just a unique beautiful experience to witness and when I think about it, I feel truly blessed.

I'm a parent of three kids who have been K-12 at Sequoyah, and am a trustee. The faculty have always met my different learners exactly where they are and helped them dive deep in their very different interests - in STEM, art and design, and economics. It has been a great community for both kids and...

I'm a lifelong educator and a member of Sequoyah's Board of Trustees. I've worked at four other Los Angeles independent schools and what stands out about Sequoyah is the deeply held commitment to progressive education. The school really walks the walk, from K-12, educating students in a way that bui...

Sequoyah High School emphasizes academic rigor and personal well-being, and students leave for college excited to learn more rather than worn down by a traditional, pressure cooker experience. This is what high school should be—a place where students talk about issues and ideas, and stellar faculty...
