What's Inside

The admissions process, in one place.

No more scrolling through identical school websites looking for tuition, deadlines, and tour dates. We've done that. Everything is already here.

01

A searchable directory

Private, public, magnet, and charter schools across Los Angeles in one filterable list. Filter by type, neighborhood, grade level, and approach. Tuition (or "free"), grades, and deadlines at a glance.

02

A single admissions calendar

Deadlines, tour dates, and school starts for the schools you shortlist, on one timeline. Toggle to the next cycle if you're planning ahead.

03

Side-by-side comparisons

Pin up to four schools and see tuition, timelines, grades, and admissions details lined up in one table. Hard to tell what's different? Tap "Show differences only."

04

Verified school profiles

One clean page per school with everything parents actually ask about — tuition, application window, philosophy, website, and a freshness stamp so you know when we last verified it.

"We built this because every parent we know has the same seven tabs open, the same spreadsheet, and the same slightly panicked group chat. It shouldn't be this hard."

Questions

A few things you might be wondering.

We currently track 115+ schools across Los Angeles — private, public, magnet, and charter — from the Westside to the East, Santa Monica to Pasadena. Coverage spans most major LA private schools plus the SMMUSD, BHUSD, and CCUSD districts, top LAUSD public schools and magnets, leading charters, and Westside neighborhood elementaries. Missing one? You can submit it from inside the directory. Other cities are on the roadmap.
We aim to refresh schools annually starting in April, when schools begin publishing their new admissions calendars. Each profile shows a "Last Verified" stamp so you know when the data was last confirmed. Between refreshes, we fix broken links and update anything members flag. Always verify details directly with each school before applying.
You're not paying for the information — you're paying for the twenty-plus hours it would take to find, read, and cross-reference it yourself. Families sign up because they want a single source of truth they can share with a spouse or caregiver without forwarding eleven links.
No. One charge, 12 months of access, no auto-renew. We'll send you a reminder a few weeks before your year ends so you can re-enroll if you want — but nothing renews automatically. No cancellation forms, no surprise charges. You buy it once and that's it.
Your access ends. If you're still in the middle of an application cycle, you can re-enroll for another year at the then-current price. Most families only need one year — you research, shortlist, apply, hear back, and you're done.
No. We're an independent service built by an LA parent. No school pays for placement, no affiliate relationships, no sponsored rankings. The list is alphabetical and every school is presented the same way.

Stop with the twenty-three tabs.

Join today and get the whole LA school landscape — private and public — in one clean, updated place.
