[quote=Anonymous]For the Palisades, the Santa Monica area will be a decent commute for your kids - Crossroads is very good. Newroads was mixed 15 years ago, hopefully more established now. I'd call and go for a tour to see how it measures up. Windward is also excellent but would be a bit further for you. Westside Neighborhood School is also nice, but closer to the Marina, and I'm not sure they have their HS up & running yet - they planned to last I checked.

Chadwick, Brentwood and Harvard-Westlake are big names. If you're going for church schools, St Monica's is excellent and also in Santa Monica.

Lastly, Pali's publics should be quite good. Will you tour them first? When I was in high school, a lot of kids (both those in private & the top kids in public) took supplementary courses at Santa Monica College.

I went a private in LA with celebrity's kids and kids whose families were just crazy wealthy and the parents were too busy with their own lives. There were some bad influences, but the rich & neglected kids were much worse off than the celebrity kids and if you're going for a big name private, there will be rich but unloved kids. So I wouldn't take the celebrity factor too heavily. That's not the biggest threat, IME. [/quote]
