A forever home for WNS. Coming fall 2026.
We have exciting news at Westside Neighborhood School! WNS has announced the transformational purchase of a 132,000-square-foot building sitting on over 5 acres of land in Playa Vista - a move that will secure the long-term future of the school, which currently leases its campus buildings
This new property will provide ample space for our current DK-8 programatic needs, as well as space to grow over the coming years to meet the evolving requirements of our preschool-8th grade program
“We have worked for over ten years to position WNS to take advantage of a unique opportunity if and when it might occur to own our school property, and this opportunity exceeds all of our expectations. This is a transformational moment for WNS that will help secure the financial sustainability and capacity for essential programmatic growth of the school for generations of preschool-8th grade students to come ”
WNS will consolidate from two of its three buildings (5401 and 5400 Beethoven Street), to the new building at 5340 Alla Road, while the Early Childhood Center, North Gym, and STEM Academic Center will remain at the WNS North Campus (12901 Coral Tree Place).
