Alumni in Action!
As we lead up to our 8th grade graduation next week, we would like to acknowledge our founding class of middle school graduates who have all now graduated high school! 

Weizmann's Class of 2012 matriculated to a range of high schools including LACHSA, Waverly, Waldorf, Arroyo Pacific Academy, and Arcadia HS and are now pursuing a wide range of interests including architecture, acting, directing, dance, linguistics, French language, competitive volleyball, etc., as they enter colleges across the country!

Sincere congratulations to Liam D., Sheldon D., Jonas K., Sharon O., Jordana O., and Hannah S. It was a pleasure and privilege to be a part of your development from adorable youngsters into amazing young adults. We are incredibly proud of all of your achievements - from the academics to extra-curricular activities - and for the wonderful people you have become. You will always be part of the Weizmann family. We hope you will visit often - and look forward to seeing many of you at graduation.
 
Like parents, our job as educators is to both nurture our children's current development, AND prepare them to succeed in their future endeavors, as well.  At Weizmann, we take great pride in the fact that our students place into the area's most prestigious schools. In recent years, our students have matriculated to schools including: Polytechnic, Westridge, Sequoyah, Chandler, Waverly, Flintridge Prep, De Toledo, LACHSA, Waldorf, and many others. We also have students who transition seamlessly to much larger public high schools.  Weizmann maintains close ties with admission personnel and school heads at area schools, and the holistic and rigorous education we provide makes our students excellent candidates who are well prepared academically and personally for wonderful educational opportunities down the road.
