Students & Parents Say
“Living Wisdom High School is a hidden gem in Palo Alto. We chose it for our child because it provides a uniquely nurturing environment and a balanced approach to learning – with strong academics, and a focus on personal enrichment.
Our child has done extremely well in this past academic year and has been more relaxed as well as far more confident than we have ever seen in the past. This school is a great place for students who are serious about their work but would benefit from a smaller and more nurturing environment in order to reach their full potential.”
