campus
The eight acre campus of Topanga Elementary Charter School is composed of many buildings and beautiful outdoor spaces, spread across three distinct levels. The different grades have separated play areas. The kindergarten playground is behind the ETK/TK classroom and the school administration offices.
There is a lower yard, where kinder and first grade classes are located. Here there is a lovely outdoor stage and garden area. The school library is adjacent to the lower yard. The middle playground which is used as a secondary parking lot during drop off but then transforms into the first and second graders' playground. The upper yard is where the majority of the PE classes are held and where the third, fourth, and fifth graders have recess.
Hiking trails and an outdoor amphitheater are up a hill, behind the auditorium. The auditorium is where lunch is served and where the school assemblies are held during Winter and Spring shows and concerts.
The Science and Technology lab is located on the upper yard, along with several classrooms and the building that houses the Art Room and the Music Room.
LAUSD's Beyond the Bell after-school program is hosted on the playground in the upper yard or in the auditorium on rainy days. Other after school programs use buildings on the upper yard and the lower yard.
The weekly school assembly is held outside the administrative offices in the central courtyard or quad.
