Community
Partnerships are at the heart of Windward School, whether among alumni members of the Windward Network, active volunteers of the Parent Guild, or civic organizations in our neighborhood of Mar Vista.
Giving
Since its founding more than four decades ago, Windward has continued to develop and prosper thanks to those community members, volunteers, foundations, and other friends who have given generously to ensure the continuous advancement of the school.

Arts Students Named YoungArts Winners

Windward Communications

Dec 11 2020

Windward recognizes and congratulates Andreas Rothbart ’22 and Corinne Leong ’20, who were recently recognized as 2021 YoungArts winners for Photography and Poetry, respectively. Andreas was also named as a finalist, YoungArts’ highest honor, and has been invited to attend the National YoungArts Week.

The National YoungArts Foundation identifies the most accomplished young artists in the visual, literary and performing arts, and provides them with creative and professional development opportunities throughout their careers. Andreas and Corinne are now fellow YoungArts alums with the likes of: Daniel Arsham, Terence Blanchard, Camille A. Brown, Viola Davis, Allegra Goodman, Josh Groban, Judith Hill, Tarell Alvin McCraney, Andrew Rannells, Desmond Richardson, Sam Lipsyte, Billy Porter, Timothée Chalamet, Hunter Schafer, and more.

We would also like to extend our appreciation to the Arts faculty that have supported these students in their journey. This has been a very challenging year, to say the least, yet the arts continue to thrive and arts educators continue to keep students inspired and engaged.

Congratulations!
