The International School of Los Angeles was established in 1978 as a non-profit organization by visionaries of varied cultural backgrounds who felt that the Los Angeles community needed a school which would prepare children for life in an increasingly international environment.  We adopt ways of thinking and expression that reflect an appreciation for cultural differences and multiple world views. Diverse groups learn more from each other when exchanging different points of view, introducing new pieces of information, and confronting alternative ideas.  Being immersed in a truly multicultural environment helps develop the ability to better understand one’s own culture – what makes it different, but also in which ways it is similar. 

Every year our school hosts a fundraising event on campus called LILAPalooza, but this has been cancelled the last two years due to the pandemic.  This year our auction is more imporatant than ever!  The proceeds the auction go to our Los Feliz Parents’ Association (PA), which in turn share funds with the campus for something that will enhance our students’ school experience or improve our campus. We share the brands that contribute to the auction on social media, and in our newsletter which reaches over 300 families in Los Angeles.
