We are a family consisting of two daughters, Aurora and Elliott, two dogs, a lot of dirty clothes and infinite amount of head colds. But loving every second of it. Well, most seconds…

We are raising our daughters in Tarzana, with our first born Athena in first grade attending the West Valley campus. The school is wonderful with a great community of parents and teachers that challenge and encourage the children to be awesome citizens of the world.

We (Shane and Nan) have one son in elementary and we have been part of the LILA family from preschool. I grew up in Canada and lived for a few years in Japan before coming to the US. I am a non-French speaker but speak Japanese. Nan grew up in China, Quebec, and California. We and our son have enjoyed our time with LILA and all the wonderful folks we have met along the way.

A special educator/school psychologist and absolutely love children! Spare time is spent singing Basque songs and collaborating with various musicians. Our son Xanti attended LILA from pre-school through 12th grade; he now attends Santa Clara.

We are a French family from Paris.

A British and American family with a little girl at the ELC in Los Feliz.

Hello we are Kalli, Al, Quincy and Silvester, the Shuckburgh/Clark Sternberg family! We are a British family living in Silver Lake. Silvester and Quincy are @Los Feliz campus. We love Lila because of the international community with similar values in both education and life! We don’t speak French at home and have been amazed by Quincy’s progress over the last two years. We both work in the music industry and thoroughly enjoy the Cali lifestyle – surfing and hanging at the beach.

We’re a non-French speaking family; dad hails from Cleveland, mom made it across the pond from Flemish-speaking Belgium. We chose LILA because of its French curriculum, academic roots, and global perspective. But LILA has turned out to be more than our kids’ school, the parent community has been very welcoming and fun.

We are two Englishers, with two little Americans, Lazlo and Tiago. We are both in the creative industries.

I am the proud mama bear of my little cub who currently attends the West Valley campus. We have been members of the LILA community since preschool (2020) and despite starting during a pandemic, we have found a home within LILA and are proud of who our little guy has become. Happy to answer any questions. Please feel free to reach out to me.

We are a family with roots in Spain and US. Sofía, our beautiful (inside and out) daughter, keeps David, dad, and Marisé, mom, young and playful. We love walking our three dogs in the park, traveling around the world, and spending time with friends and family. As a family, we are adventurous, open, curious, reliable, and team players. We have been at LILA since PreK (11years!! and counting) and feel honored to belong to an amazing international and multicultural community.

We are an anglophone family with two boys, Jack and Henry. We are in the entertainment industry.

Our son Jonathan started at LILA in Kindergarten without any previous French experience and we knew from the beginning that LILA was an amazing and welcoming environment. My husband Peter is a Seattle native, I’m a Chicago native, and we found a fantastic community and education for our LA-raised son at LILA.

We’re a couple of English-speaking Americans working in the entertainment industry and raising our two spirited children in Studio City. Being from Connecticut and Ohio respectively, and having zero experience with an international education, we were curious how the French would go; it’s been amazing to see how the children have embraced it. They absolutely love their school, and we love being a part of LILA’s warm & vibrant community. We’d be happy to chat about adjusting to a new school, finding creative ways to nurture our children’s diverse learning styles and social/emotional needs, or commuting to Los Feliz from the valley (honestly it’s not that bad! we have lots of podcast recommendations if you’re interested).

We’re a family with international background, speaking multiple languages at home, that somehow made our older daughter speak with Swedish accent, and our little daughter speak with Boston accent, a very interesting combo. We love LILA for strong values that supports diversity, variety of cultures, and incredibly high academic standards. This place truly feels like home with extremely friendly and supportive international LILA community.

Hello we are Lindsay, Andrew, Enzo and Elio. We are very happy that we ended up at LILA! Neither of us speak French, but Andrew speaks Italian. We are in agriculture (a vegetable farm in Los Angeles). We love the community at LILA, they have really become some of our best friends.

I live in Sherman Oaks, California with my husband Sandro, and our three kids: Sofia, Charlie and Luc. Our kids have all been at LILA since pre-K, and it has been a wonderful experience. Please reach out to me for any information about our incredible school!

Cuban-Peruvian-American family of 5, including our two human children and Peter, our beloved pup. We feel so grateful to be part of this great community.

We are a multi-cultural (half French speaking) family who wanted an inclusive global community. We feel we hit the jackpot at LILA. We have been with the school since our eldest was in PS at the ELC. Our LILA community has been the highlight and kept us afloat during the last couple years!

We are a Franco-American family (Chris is American and Jeanne is French). We love LILA and particularly our Pasadena campus. There is an outstanding crowd of people there, always ready to help. We love you LILA Pasadena community.

Hello! My name is Melissa and my husband Eric and I have had the absolute pleasure of sending our daughter and son to school here since preschool.

We are tremendously excited to be part of the LILA community. Mila joined Mini Club at the ELC when she was 6 months old, and since then we have seen her love for the school and the French language grow.
