We welcome you to Los Encinos School!
Los Encinos School has been a staple in Encino since 1980. We are proud to have been a home away from home for elementary students and their families for nearly five decades.
Please take some time to explore our website to learn more about Los Encinos School. We would love for you to come visit our campus during one of our admissions events this fall.
Los Encinos really set the foundation of what I’ve become — and becoming… Thank you Los Encinos for planting the seed to this tree that is growing and blooming fruits.
We congratulate the class of 2024 as they begin middle school!
Our amazing sixth graders were accepted to, and will be attending, some of the finest middle schools in Los Angeles.
We’re honored to announce that the class of 2018 is college-bound!
Pictured below in their sixth-grade class photo, they are each
headed to some incredible colleges and universities.
