Laurel Springs combines all the benefits of a traditional private school with the flexibility of self-paced distance learning. Laurel Springs is a private school accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). Based on the rigorous requirements of the state of California, our programs meet or exceed State standards and expectations nationwide. WASC accreditation provides Laurel Springs students reciprocity of credits, courses and grade-level placements between schools and universities around the world, and validation of the equivalency of diplomas and certificates to other accredited schools and universities. A gift from us to you for referring a family to Laurel Springs School If there’s one thing parents love to do, it’s talk about their children’s successes. When friends ask you about your child’s experiences at Laurel Springs School, what type of success stories do you share? Do you mention the personal and educational discoveries your child is making thanks to our advanced curriculum? Laurel Springs School enables students to engage in a vibrant social life and create lasting friendships within a global community. We offer our students the opportunity to collaborate and make friends within our secure social network environment, My Laurel Springs. Our online clubs are a key part of our virtual school community for grades 7–12, deepening relationships and providing students with the opportunity to work collaboratively.
