School Overview

Perched in the hills above one of Southern California's most beloved coastal towns, Top of the World Elementary lives up to its name in more ways than one — strong across English, math, and science, and surrounded by the kind of laid-back-but-ambitious community that Laguna Beach tends to attract. Families here are drawn to the artsy, outdoorsy character of the town itself, where beach culture meets a genuine appreciation for creativity and learning. It's the kind of school that appeals to parents who want rigorous academics without sacrificing the relaxed, sun-soaked lifestyle that makes this stretch of the Orange County coast so distinct.
