The local elementary school is Mira Catalina, and Miraleste Intermediate is also located just a few miles away. High school students have a choice of either Palos Verdes Peninsual High ( located in the Peninsula Center area in the middle of the Hill ), or Palos Verdes High located in Lunada Bay in Palos Verdes Estates. Both high schools are California Distinquished Schools, with open enrollment to students on the Peninsula (they do not have enrollment boundaries). Palos Verdes HIgh has a unique class scheduling structure, called block scheduling, where students attend three extended periods each day, alternating with their other three classes each day. Peninsula High has a more traditional structure of the same periods for all classes each day, and has a more extensive offering of classes.
