History

One-room schools

By the 1940s, the territory that is now the Las Virgenes district was divided among four one-room schools, each with its own school district:

  • Calabasas School, built in 1890, replacing an 1888 school;
  • Las Virgenes School, established in 1884; and until the 1960s, the teenagers of these grade school districts attended Canoga Park High School. They were then moved in 1974 to 30961 West Agoura Road in Westlake Village, and again in 1990 to a two-story building at 4111 North Las Virgenes Road, next to the A.E. Wright Middle School.

The foundation has granted over 1 million dollars to Las Virgenes schools since 2012. It hosts an annual fundraiser to raise money for enhancing and improving education in LVUSD. It is the only organization that can pay for credentialed classroom teachers and counselors.
