About LLA

Admissions

“You won't find another school where a kid can really be themselves, go at their own pace, and be supported. Do that interview, because it's a remarkable place.” —Valerie, LLA parent

Who can apply?

Anyone can take the first step by calling — a parent, caregiver, service provider, or a prospective student. We welcome students who haven’t been to school in a while, and those who are searching for the right fit. Our students come from throughout the Bay Area.

We make it easy: Give us a call! We’ll chat for a few minutes and most likely invite you for a student-led tour and a one-on-one interview with our co-founder, Dr. Teri Delane. Interviews are usually available the same or next day. You can start any time of year, as soon as the day after you interview.
