Maxwell Academy (PK-8)

Maxwell Academy sits in the small, tight-knit city of Duarte, tucked along the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains just east of Pasadena — a community that feels a world away from the bustle of central LA. The school serves students from pre-K all the way through 8th grade, which gives families a real sense of continuity and connection over the years. It's a solid choice for families who value that extended community feel and want their kids growing up in a quieter, more suburban corner of Los Angeles County.
