We imagine a future where children grow up fluent in more than just language—they’re fluent in empathy, focus, and self-expression. At Minerva, we’re creating that future every day. Our vision is to raise a generation of culturally aware, confident learners who are academically prepared, emotionally grounded, and curious about the world around them. Because thriving in tomorrow’s world starts with how we teach them today. 

Through our Trimmersion™ approach, language isn’t taught—it’s lived. Mandarin, Spanish, and English become part of each child’s daily rhythm, building not just fluency, but cultural understanding and confidence. Bilinguals develop real skills: cognitive strength, cultural fluency, emotional regulation, independence, and academic readiness. Nervous that your child will not have enough English development? Bilinguals test higher on English tests than Monolingual speakers, in addition to the fact that kids in Full Immersion (90/10) compared to Half Immersion (50/50), leave at a stronger level in the target language and the same level in English…wild, we know!

At Minerva, we don’t underestimate potential—we nurture it with structure, purpose, and trust. Our environment is intentionally designed to support focus, independence, and meaningful learning from the earliest years. Our curriculum is inspired by Montessori, a hands-on, culture rich and self-directed learning approach designed to promote individualism and curiosity. Students at Minerva School will be provided with a comprehensive and well-rounded curriculum, targeted to teach cultural competency and global awareness. In addition, our students will study math, reading and writing, geography, botany, science, art, music, in the target language. Children will work towards becoming bi/trilingual and bi/triliterate, specifically with an oral and written foundation in Mandarin (Traditional) and/or Spanish.

Our school offers programs for Toddlers (18m-2y), Preschool (2-5y) and Kindergarten (5-6y).

Minerva School is currently undergoing a glow up- we plan to open in January 2026. Our builidng features 10 large classrooms, a dedicated art room, a parent lounge, as well as 3 natural outdoor play yards, an a private parking lot.

We plan to begin the enrollment process in Fall 2025. We always go through our waitlisted families first - so we highly recommend touring our current location (Culver City Montessori), to get an idea of what our program has to offer. Keep in mind - you’ll be applying to the Minerva School for any enrollment January 2026 onwards!
