Journey School

Award-winning Journey School, a K-8 public charter school in Aliso Viejo, is a place where students share a sense of community not typically seen in traditional schools. When asked if he likes school, a second grader replied, “I don’t like weekends because I don’t get to go to Journey.” A fifth grader who landed his seat at Journey in first grade revealed, “I like some friends better than others, but everyone in my class is my best friend.”

“Students at Journey stay with the same teacher and class for multiple years,” a third-grade parent explained. “Strong connections are developed over time, and the entire class begins to feel like a family. The unique teacher-student bond is leveraged to reach children in deeper ways and that relationship has made all the difference for my child.”

Each day at Journey School begins with the ringing of the bell that hangs from a bell tower at the front of campus. Sounds of laughter and singing can be heard as small feet jump rope alongside the beautifully adorned kindergarten classrooms. Older students gather excitedly on ramps and teachers greet them individually as they enter their classrooms. The energy that runs through Journey’s campus is undeniably contagious.

“I was so nervous to start at a new school in 6th grade, but the students were so welcoming,” shared Isabella. “The way we learn at Journey is very different from my old school. Journey makes learning fun!”

Journey School offers a rigorous curriculum that uniquely blends academics, art, music, nature, and ethics into daily lessons. Inspired by the core principles of Waldorf education, Journey’s outside-the-box education prepares students to be intellectually, artistically, and socially well-rounded, cultivating critical thinkers who are ready to embrace the challenges of high school and beyond.
