Nothing is BIGGER than CHILDHOOD.
This is precisely why Los Encinos is a smaller school than most. We know life never gets more magnificent than this magical window of time, so we are committed to helping young children experience it fully. This means keeping our school small enough to deliver a vast education. Big thinking, big opportunities, big fun — all made possible by staying small.
Los Encinos is a close-knit learning community where everyone knows each other; where cooperation and friendship span all grades; where students feel both safe and excited to take risks and try new things.
After all, the greatest gift you can give a child is… childhood.
Think Big. Start SMALL.
Message from the Head of School

Ilene Reinfeld
Head of School
Welcome and thank you for your interest in Los Encinos School. Amazingly, this is our 43rd year as an independent K-6 primary school and I’ve been the head of school for nearly half that time.
Many changes have taken place over the years as we advance in instruction, technology, and social and emotional learning. The new additions and updates to our campus include the installation of modern equipment and technology to enhance student learning and the refinement of our curriculum that we believe is beneficial to our students. What has remained constant through our 40+ years is our mission, our philosophy, and our core. ♦ Read More >>
