Our Story
Founded over 40 years ago by Neal Wrightson and Leni Jacksen, Children’s Community School began with a humble kindergarten and first grade in rented rooms behind a church in Van Nuys. Over the years, the school has expanded its facilities and mission, emphasizing education for democracy, diversity, and community engagement. Under the leadership of Azizi Williams, CCS continues to uphold a legacy of progressive education, ensuring inclusivity and support for all students.
