Education Meets Lifestyle in Playa Vista
One of Playa Vista’s most underrated advantages is its access to exceptional schools — both public and private. Whether you’re a growing family or planning ahead, education plays a huge role in why people choose to live here. With walkable campuses, community engagement, and modern programs, Playa Vista makes the school run something to actually look forward to.

Located right in the heart of the community, Playa Vista Elementary consistently earns top marks for its project-based learning model and strong parental involvement. The school’s curriculum emphasizes STEM education, creativity, and environmental awareness — reflecting the neighborhood’s sustainability values. Families love that kids can safely walk or bike to school without ever crossing major streets.
Da Vinci Schools
Just a short drive away in El Segundo, the Da Vinci Schools network offers public charter programs that rival private education. Students explore real-world learning in partnership with local tech firms — a perfect fit for Playa Vista families working in Silicon Beach.
Private & Parochial Options
