The Four Pillars of Everlasting Education

Our Story

Everlasting Education was founded in 2020 by Michael Galano, a Los Angeles public school teacher and environmental educator. After years of working at his environmental education job during summers and then returning to the florescent, boxed-in classrooms of LAUSD during the school year, Michael was inspired to found a school that immersed students in wonder of the natural world so that their natural abilities could shine. 

 

In the fall of 2020, Michael and a group of inspiring parents saw outdoor education as a healthy and highly beneficial alternative to traditional school. Especially with the limitations posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, outdoor education was an opportunity to continue in-person learning while large educational necessitated virtual learning.

​

Everlasting Elementary School follows all of the Content Standards as set by the California Department of Education and has a rigorous yet inclusive academic model. Outside of our elementary school, we operate after-school hiking programs, summer camps, and other programs throughout the school year.

Everlasting Education's mission is to provide outdoor educational experiences that facilitate robust connections to nature, self and community through reflective and analytical programs in local environmental ecology. Our programs aim to connect students to their place in the world and mend the 21st century disconnect between inhabitants and their environments. These experiences of wonder and connection inspire our students to know, care for, and tend to their local ecological communities.
Everlasting Education, Inc. (“the Organization”) admits students of every race, color, or national or ethnic origin with all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally made available to all students at that school and all the school-administered programs. Employees found to discriminate in any way on the basis of race with respect to admissions, use of facilities, or otherwise exercise student privileges will face a hearing before the Board of Directors for further action, including but not limited to termination of employment or dismissal from the Board.
