Open Enrollment for grades 9-12, year-round
Begin the enrollment process to see if Living Wisdom High School is a fit for your child. The process begins with a visit to the school followed by a three-part application to be filled out by both the parents and the student. In addition to high academic standing, we also look for teens who are passionate about making a difference in the world, who are curious about who they are, and who want a balanced education that prepares them for all aspects of life.

Students & Parents Say
“As a 2016 graduate of a Living Wisdom High School, I am eternally grateful for the gifts and opportunities I received. I was given the support and freedom to pursue my interests, travel the world, and truly engage with my learning. The small class sizes created a safe space to dive deep into everything and ended up being a second family for me. My teachers were the best role models I could have asked for and supported me not only academically but in my own personal growth and goals.
Living with high ideals and with love and dedication to their students, the teachers are the gold in the Living Wisdom School system. I now work at Living Wisdom High School of Palo Alto, and I sincerely recommend it as a transformative and joy-filled experience that will set an incredible foundation for the rest of life.”
