Established in 1953, Laurence School has worked to become one of the finest elementary schools in greater Los Angeles. Laurence offers a challenging academic program, all the while preserving the nurturing family-like atmosphere that is its hallmark. Concern for “The Total Child” – academic, social, emotional and physical – has been the guiding light of founder, Marvin Jacobson, who, in the course of 57 years, has guided Laurence from a one-room school with twelve children to a state-of-the-art campus with nearly 300 students in grades Kindergarten through Sixth.

As with all other non-profit schools, tuition alone does not cover the cost to educate a child at Laurence; therefore like others, we depend upon fund-raising to cover the remainder of the costs necessary to provide the margin of excellence for all children. This revenue benefits every facet of the School’s operation; from financial aid to professional development, technology to the arts, athletics, and musical programs, competitive salaries and benefits for our outstanding faculty, as well as allowing us to update and maintain our facility as needed. Every student benefits each and every day from Laurence’s wholehearted commitment to education. All fundraising dollars are tax deductible.
