Put your student on the path to college.
I love the environment. I love the way the teachers work with the students. The classrooms are smaller. I just love it when the teachers know that a student is struggling with something. They get in contact with the parent right away and make sure it gets handled. They start working with the student one-on-one to make sure that child gets the help they need. She's going to go to Ánimo Venice for high school.
-Janet Navarro, Ánimo Westside parent

What Makes Ánimo Westside Charter Middle School Unique
Ánimo Westside Charter Middle School is a public middle school in Playa Vista, CA, serving families from a cross-section of racial, cultural, and socioeconomic spectrums, enrolling students in grades 6 through 8.
We pride ourselves on building a culture that feels like family, and believe that greatness lives within the Ánimo Westside walls.

Family-Oriented
We view our parents/guardians as equal partners in providing our children with meaningful educational experiences. We encourage you to actively participate in your child's education by attending school programs, volunteering, and talking to your child about their day.

College Prep Curriculum
We believe that every child must be prepared for college, leadership, and life - and that begins as soon as our students walk in our doors as 6th graders.
