One of our Founding Fathers, Benjamin Franklin, once said: “An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.” And how do we invest in knowledge? By doing the same thing our parents did when we were little: finding the perfect school for us to go to. Finding the perfect school may take a while and some parents have even gone to the extreme measure of moving to a different city or even “pretending” to live in a different city (it’s all about that zip code) in order to have their child enrolled in the best school possible. But, what if you are looking into real estate in Calabasas? What choices do you have? Look no further because here are the answers to your prayers.

Manzanita School founders, Paul Astin and Jenny Griffiths describe their school as “not a typical school”. How so?

This makes their connection to nature very critical to their teaching and learning philosophy. They believe in Symbiotic Learning and even offer outdoor classrooms in order to have the students engage with Mother Nature itself. But, don’t take our word for it, go check it out yourself!
