Athletics
Windward Athletics creates opportunities for scholar-athletes to learn and compete at the highest level while focusing on personal growth, commitment to teamwork, and the pursuit of excellence.
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.
