The Learning Castle and La Cañada Preparatory are private schools for TK through eighth grade. Field trips are an important teaching tool at TLC and LCP.

The Learning Castle, founded in 1992 by Terry Villanueva, and La Cañada Preparatory, added in 2002, are schools that focus on each student’s needs through an individualized curriculum. Low teacher-to-student ratios, coupled with curricula developed by and for the TLC and LCP style of teaching, have led to outstanding results with students learning at an accelerated pace.

A Celebration of Mothers, Community & Connection
On Friday, May 8, the Parent Associations of TSC, TLC, and LCP welcomed 140 incredible mothers to a beautiful Mother’s Day Luncheon at Oakmont Country Club.
Inspired by the timeless elegance of a Parisian café, the afternoon featured stunning floral décor, a specialty coffee station, a custom perfume-making experience, live entertainment, exciting raffles, and unforgettable moments shared among friends and families.
This special event was made possible through the generosity of our sponsors and contributors, whose support helped create a truly memorable celebration. We are also grateful to photographer Armen Ambarchyan for capturing the beauty and joy of the day.
A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated planning committee led by Parent Association President Angie Keshishian, along with Ani Mardirosian, Lena Minasyan, Alicia Fermanian, and Suzie Kiaman. Their vision, creativity, and hard work brought this elegant event to life.
Most importantly, the luncheon was a tribute to the remarkable mothers in our community, whose love, strength, and dedication inspire us every day.
Proceeds from the event will support the year-end celebrations for The Sand Castle, Learning Castle, and La Cañada Preparatory School students.

🌺 Another Successful Year-End Celebration for TLC & LCP! 🌺
What an incredible way to celebrate the end of another outstanding academic year!
Our TLC & LCP students have spent the year challenging themselves through a rigorous accelerated academic program, demonstrating dedication, perseverance, and a commitment to excellence every step of the way. They have worked hard, supported one another, embraced challenges, and achieved so much throughout the year. This special celebration was a well-earned reward for all of their accomplishments!
This unforgettable event was made possible through the funds raised at our Mother’s Day Luncheon, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who helped make it a success. A special thank you to our amazing community of room moms who generously volunteered their time to serve food, snacks, and drinks throughout the day.
The luau-themed celebration was packed with fun from beginning to end! Students enjoyed face painting, custom tattoos, arts and crafts, carnival games, bouncers, obstacle courses, DJ and dancing, gym competitions, and so much more. There truly was something for everyone to enjoy.
Most importantly, it was wonderful to see our students relax, celebrate their achievements, and create lasting memories with their classmates after a year of hard work and academic success.
Thank you to all the families, volunteers, and supporters who helped make this day so special. We loved seeing the smiles, laughter, and friendships that filled every corner of the celebration.
📸 More photos from this amazing event will be shared in the coming days—stay tuned!
☀️ School’s out, summer is officially in session, and our students have certainly earned it!

Last Friday. First Grade Ready.

On the last Friday of the school year, our kindergartners are still hard at work, mastering cursive, solving addition and subtraction problems, conquering spelling tests, and pushing themselves to learn more every day.

At The Learning Castle, learning doesn’t slow down when summer is around the corner. These students have spent the year growing academically, building confidence, and consistently working above grade level to reach their fullest potential.

We couldn’t be more proud of all they have accomplished. Their hard work, determination, and love of learning have prepared them well for the exciting journey ahead.

First grade, here they come! 📚
