Los Altos Brethren School was founded in 1972. Our preschool was established first, followed by our kindergarten and then our elementary school.
We provide a solid, well-rounded education to children. Our school offers a developmentally based preschool program for three- and four-year-olds.
Our elementary school offers a strong academic curriculum based on a developmentally appropriate philosophy.
All teaching is based upon God's Word, the Bible, and students are encouraged to apply its principles to their own lives. All instruction is provided by qualified, experienced, and dedicated Christian teachers who strive to impart knowledge that is academically sound and Biblically based.
Students learn of the Bible's relevancy not only to subjects studied, but, more importantly, to their daily lives.
