Topanga Charter Elementary School is located on a 12.4 acre wooded campus in the heart of Topanga Canyon. With a small population, the school maintains the true feeling of a community school, with the ability to foster long lasting relationships with students and families. These relationships are strengthened by the stability of the fully credentialed faculty and their numerous years of service. Topanga Elementary Charter School provides an integrated core curriculum focused on independent thinking, decision-making, problem solving skills and creativity, with an emphasis on community and global attitudes.
