Welcome to Echo Horizon!
Choosing the right elementary school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make. At Echo Horizon, we believe in aligning with families who share our values, beliefs, and aspirations—a place “that believes what you believe,” as Simon Sinek aptly puts it.
Echo Horizon is a Pre-K–6 elementary school located in the vibrant arts district of Culver City. Our small, supportive community fosters a warm environment where children can thrive. We ensure children remain children, free from the pressures of growing up too quickly. In our Pre-K-6 setting, all students enjoy a playful and youthful atmosphere, while our Upper Elementary scholars also embrace leadership roles, standing out as role models.
Our dynamic academic curriculum offers the best of both worlds: a strong foundation in traditional education combined with research-backed, evidence-based innovation. As we deepen our understanding of emerging brain science and child development, and as new pedagogies prove themselves, we evolve our teaching methods. This approach ensures that our students receive a well-rounded education that evolves with their needs. By incorporating diverse perspectives, we teach empathy and effective collaboration, preparing students for a globalized world that requires creative and adaptable thinkers. Our participatory classrooms encourage active thinking and a desire to seek answers, integrating foundational knowledge with project-based learning and collaborative work.
Inclusivity and diversity are at the heart of Echo Horizon. Fifteen percent of our students are deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH), learning and playing alongside their hearing peers. This unique model benefits all students, promoting empathy and an appreciation for diversity. We are proud that nearly 50% of our students/families and about 40% of our faculty/staff identify as people of color, reflecting the world’s rich diversity of the world around us.
Most importantly, we believe that strong relationships between students and teachers are key to academic success and confidence-building. We prioritize connections, trust, and the joy of learning together, ensuring all experiences are rooted in meaningful connections and a sense of belonging. At Echo Horizon, we create a joyful, fun, and loving environment where children feel confident and supported. Our students grow into changemakers and leaders, developing public speaking skills and a lifelong love of learning. We nurture their curiosity, encourage inclusivity, and help them build the confidence to lead with empathy.
I warmly invite you to visit us in person and experience Echo Horizon’s magic. . Come see how our vibrant community can be the right match for your family. I look forward to meeting you and sharing more about our wonderful school.Warmly,
Peggy Procter
Head of School
