Middle School Admissions

WHERE DO THEY GO?

PS1 Pluralistic School alumni often become leaders in their middle school settings. They articulate what they think and feel, show a strong sense of self and compassion for others, and know themselves as learners. One alumna said, “I am where I am today because PS1 gave me the tools to believe in myself, speak up for myself, speak out against injustice, embrace my individuality, look at problems from multiple angles and understand other perspectives.” The high placement ratio of our graduates into independent secondary schools and their success at the private or public school of their choice stems directly from the well-rounded and rich elementary education which PS1 provides. Below is a list of the wide range of middle schools our students have attended in recent years.

PS1 Class of 2024 was admitted to the following independent middle schools: Archer, Berkeley Hall, Brentwood, Buckley, Crossroads, Geffen, Harvard-Westlake, Marlborough, Milken, New Roads, Oakwood, Santa Monica Preparatory, St. Matthews, Viewpoint, Wildwood & Windward.
