洛杉矶地区没有最好的私立高中,只有最合适的私立高中。四所最严格私立高中是 Flintridge Prep, Pasadena Poly, Webb 和 Harvard-Westlake. 有些人可能会说最严格的就是最好的,但对于大部分学生来说这种说法不对。对于大部分学生来说这种严格的学校压力过大,每晚五小时的家庭作业 (脑子好使的), 加上周末,从九年级开始就用大学程度课本。再加上2到3小时的体育训练或者演奏练习,加上社团,公共服务,和课外活动。在申请大学的时候,大学不会因为你上一所非常难的私立学校,而对你网开一面,反而在这里更难拿到好成绩。

最好从你所居住的周围开始咨询,因为你不会想要每天开很远的路程。就算是比较不那么难的学校每晚也有3到4小时的家庭作业。有些学校有非常强的运动计划或者艺术计划,所以选什么学校完全看你需要什么。不要太看中升学率,因为那主要取决与学生而不是学校。

很多洛杉矶的天主教学校也收一部分非天主教的学生。天主教学校的费用通常只有私立预备学校的一般, 并且学生群体比较广泛,所以对大部分学生来说反而更好,但是所有的学生都需要上宗教课程。

申请过程从你要进入私立学校的前一年的9月和10月开始。录取通知书通常是三月份的第一个礼拜送出去的。如果你对学校不了解请看学校的网站这样你会知道你需要做什么. 参观日, 参观,申请,简历,老师推荐书,入学考试,面试,学校生活体验等。。。 有些学校可能会在10年级空出几个名额,但一般很少,通常寄宿学校会这样做。大部分学校不会收11年级的学生,因为他们太难跟上新学校的进度。一般也不会收12年级的学生,除非是非常特殊的情况。

比华利山庄没有私立学校,但是有很多富人把他们的孩子送到比华利山庄附近的很多私立学校。但是这些学校都有很多穷学生收到根据需要给与的财务补助,所以学校的学生是混合的,不是所有学生都是富有的。还有西边有钱的人送他们的孩子去别的地方因为这些学校很好。

下面是洛杉矶地区的私立学校名单,包括宗教学校:

Harvard-Westlake’s reputation as one of the nation’s leading prep schools is built on its abundant resources and a demanding curriculum that includes 105 advanced placement sections. Mindful that universities care about more than test scores, Harvard-Westlake requires community service and offers an unusual range of extracurricular activities and classes. The Upper School in North Hollywood may not be as scenic as the Middle School in Bel-Air, but its facilities would be the envy of many colleges. The science center has an electron microscope, and the weight room is so well equipped that athletes return to work out even after they’ve graduated and turned pro. Formed by the 1991 merger of two of L.A.’s top private schools, Harvard-Westlake has twice as many high school students as most of its peers, and some parents say it can be easy for kids to get lost in such a highly competitive crowd.

Student murals adorn the walls. Kids ponder script changes as they lounge on shady redwood benches. CalArts graduate students teach Super 8 filmmaking and the jaw harp. Oakwood’s emphasis on the arts is part of a broader mission: to blend a college prep curriculum with individualized learning, a commitment that dates to the school’s founding by progressive parents in 1951. The dissatisfaction with the rigidity of mainstream education is reflected in the variety of mentorships and independent projects Oakwood offers as well as in the special studies courses (subjects include anime and baseball) that are devised by teachers, alumni, and students.

Ask students what distin-guishes Poly from its peers, and they mention its intimate atmosphere. Everybody—children, teachers, and the college counselor—knows everybody and, it seems, has known one another for years. Poly was founded in 1907 as a combination academic-manual arts training school, and it added a high school in 1959. It has since emerged as one of Southern California’s elite prep schools. Poly, says Head of School Deborah E. Reed, tries to extend learning “beyond the traditional classroom” through arts programs, community service, and river camping treks. Generations of alumni return for the spring musical, one of many traditions celebrated on the leafy campus, which sits next to Caltech.

With its navy dress blazers and an honor code that cautions against cowardice, the Webb School of California resembles an old-fashioned East Coast prep school. It was started in 1922 as a boys’ boarding school; in 1981, a girls’ school was established. Despite the traditional trappings, Webb, as the two schools are known, takes a nonconventional approach to single-sex education; boys and girls study separately until junior year. Day students make up one-third of the enrollment. Webb’s curriculum is particularly strong in the social and natural sciences: Within the 75-acre campus stand an observatory and a paleontology museum, most of whose fossils were discovered by students, faculty, and alumni.

After Isabelle Buckley opened her first nursery school in L.A. in the 1930s, Time magazine called her a “counter-revolutionary with a passion for sound minds, manners and morals.” Today Buckley School remains devoted to its founder’s “4-Fold Plan of Education,” which gives equal weight to academics, the arts, athletics, and moral education. The course work tilts toward the liberal arts but includes such topical additions as Mandarin and 21st-century leadership. Despite its size (18 rustic acres on the grounds of a former country club), Buckley retains a sense of hominess: Milk is provided to each student at the request of Isabelle Buckley.

Perched on a hill overlooking the Pacific, Chadwick sprawls across grounds so vast, they include a canyon and hiking trails. The heart of the 45-acre campus is a tranquil expanse known as Vanderlip Lawn. The Upper School is based in Roessler Hall, one of the oldest buildings at Chadwick, which was founded in 1935. More recent additions to the campus are a 35,000-volume library, computer labs, a performing arts complex, and a sports pavilion. Outdoor education is mandatory for upper-grade students. Seniors may participate in a 21-day backpacking trip in the Sierra that includes a few days spent going solo, or they can perform community service.

Flintridge Prep’s curriculum is a mix of the poetic and the pragmatic; students have written a collective novel inspired by William Faulkner, deciphered the intricacies of multivariable calculus, or spent a year immersed in the basics of accounting and investment. Teachers at the 75-year-old school are known for their accessibility and, students say, for trying to make sure that attending Prep is a fulfilling experience and not just a conduit to college. That said, the academic standards are tough, and juniors and seniors take weekly classes in which the progress of their university applications is monitored.

Brentwood School

Years: K-6 (lower school), 7-8 (middle school), 9-12 (upper school)

Type of School: Co-educational, independent day school

Median SAT Score: 2060

This experimental independent school attracts and nurtures students excelling in creative areas.

Founded in 1971, it boasts a new, progressive, developmental approach to education.

Marlborough School

Years: 7-12

Type of School: Girls’ college preparatory school

Student/Faculty Ratio: 8:1

College Acceptance: Of graduates who applied to ‘highly selective’ universities, 81 percent were admitted (2012)

Some educators feel strongly that girls in particular benefit from a single-sex education, in that such institutions breed stronger, more confident, more able women. Marlborough is one of them, and the oldest of its kind in LA. Founded in 1889, the school emphasizes personal growth and cooperation as cornerstones of its educational philosophy.

250 S. Rossmore Ave.

323-935-1147

Marymount High School

Years: 9-12

Type of School: Catholic independent girls’ school

Student/Faculty Ratio: 8:1

Media SAT Score: 1982

Like Marlborough, Marymount emphasizes the leg-up that female students get from a single-sex education. The school bases its philosophy partly on a UCLA study that showed that 60 percent of graduates from girls’ schools are more intellectually self-confident (versus 54 percent of their co-educationally schooled counterparts). Marymount claims SAT scores “well above the national average” along with its share of students honored as Advanced Placement (AP) scholars.

10643 Sunset Blvd.

Los Angeles, CA 90077

310-472-1205

Loyola High School

Years: 9-12

College Acceptance: Typically, 99 percent of graduates continue to higher education; 96 percent to four-year colleges

Highlights: Each January, seniors engage in a required three-week, 85-hour service immersion experience at an agency serving the financially challenged and marginalized

Founded in 1865, Loyola is the oldest continuously run educational institution in Southern California. Its sister affiliate schools are Marymount and Marlborough. It offers a more reasonable tuition fee than most private/parochial schools. Some 49 percent of its students are Latino, African-Ameican, Asian or Filipino.

Le Lycée Francais de Los Angeles

Years: Preschool through 12th grade

Type of School: Co-educational, bi-lingual French school

Student/Faculty Ratio: 125 teachers for a student population of approximately 1000

The Lycée offers a uniquely European-flavored, bi-lingual education. In primary school and high school, students can enroll in the ‘French School Program’ (in which all classes are taught in French) or the ‘English School Program.’ The French School Program follows the official curriculum issued by the French Ministry of Education (leading to the Bacalauréat exam).

The Buckley School

Students run the campus store and curate gallery exhibits at Archer, which was started 13 years ago by three girls’ school graduates who wanted to create a model for modern single-sex education. The curriculum embraces the belief that girls “thrive on making connections” between ideas—so, for instance, archaeology and ancient history are taught together. Archer promotes off-campus learning through events such as “Arrow Week,” during which students can shoot a documentary or build houses with Habitat for Humanity. For nine years the school has occupied an elegant 1931 Spanish colonial revival building on Sunset Boulevard. Each May Day seniors and their fathers erect a maypole on the front lawn, a tradition inherited from the building’s former residents, the women of the Eastern Star retirement home.

Independent | Girls | 7-12

The biggest cheers at this spring’s awards ceremony were given to a basketball all-star and the Most Valuable Mathlete. At Marlborough, girls say, they can feel free to be jocks or nerds. The faculty, which includes 17 Ph.D.s, has developed such distinctive electives as courses in Arabic literature and Anna Karenina and a research program that enables students to work with scientists at UCLA and other institutions. Marlborough, which is nearing its 120th anniversary, is the oldest independent girls’ school in Southern California. The sense of history is strong. Seventh graders write poems to alumnae, and decades of senior class photographs line one hallway. Substantial donations from two families have fueled a $65 million modernization of the campus.

Westridge School

Pasadena /芭莎蒂娜,私立女校, 4-12年级

Westridge began in 1913 after two mothers asked Mary Lowther Ranney, a teacher and architect, if she would create a nurturing learning environment for their daughters. Enrollment has risen to more than 500, and the school has moved from Ranney’s home to a nine-acre campus dotted with architectural gems designed by Greene & Greene and Marston, Van Pelt & Maybury, among others. Westridge, however, remains what one parent calls “a safe and welcoming place for girls”—albeit one that has grown increasingly competitive academically. The science, music, and drama programs are especially notable. Each year high school students spend time exploring the world beyond Pasadena, be it on trips to downtown Los Angeles or historic Rome.
