The Pilgrim Experience

These Pilgrims Are Family
It's after school on an average day: secondary and elementary students on the yard, some have been here since preschool. Everyone is aware of the Pilgrim family. It's a matter of caring, nurturing, and character building. There's a special quality in a school where the little and the big mingle. We call it the Pilgrim Way.

It's About Learning
We are proud of our high scholastic ranking - both in California and nationwide. All of our recent graduating class are accepted to major colleges and universities: schools such as Stanford, Duke, Princeton, Columbia, NYU, Cornel, Berkeley, USC and UCLA to name a few. Many of our students receive academic scholarships.

Personal Attention Always
Our student to faculty ratio is lower than average, resulting in small classes. Teachers spend extra time with students. Personal advisors track student progress and a college placement counselor works with each high school grade. All this makes learning at Pilgrim effective and exciting.

Child Care, Before & After School
Pilgrim School offers extended day care for parents with an early morning or late afternoon schedule and require this additional service. After school homework club and enrichment classes make the day even more fulfilling.

There's Our Summer Place
Not only do we operate a summer program at the school, we own our summer camp at Big Bear Lake in the mountains, "Cedar Lake Camp," 270 acres with a private lake. Here we sponsor "Camp Pilgrim" and "Pilgrim Adventure," entertaining and enriching the lives of our students.

Close to Downtown, But a World Apart
We are a safe haven cradled in the Wilshire Center. Security is provided at all times, and parents dropping off children will find freeway access close by.

Everything is Up-To-Date at Pilgrim
Although our school may have some old fashioned values, we're on the cutting edge of creativity and technology. Take our two computer labs, for instance. Complete in every detail with the latest hardware and software. Kindergarteners begin working on our computers, such as our new Pentium 4 2.7 ghz 512 MB memory, 17 inch flat LCD screen machines with a DVD player. Students love them!

"At all grade levels, the comfortable unity among varied backgrounds creates a genuine sense of family that is both unique and refreshing."
