Discover Malibu: With the Parent and Family Program
Join us to experience the vibrant Malibu community alongside other inquisitive Waves.
Together with parents, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends, we'll explore the over
23 miles of stunning natural beauty, lush gardens, and scenic trails, and marvel at
the majestic mountains that frame the coastline of pristine beaches while engaging
in lively conversations and shared adventures.
Explore a blend of emerging hotspots and well-loved local treasures—from chic new
cafes and art galleries to time-honored historic landmarks that tell the story of
Malibu’s rich past with other Waves. Savor the latest culinary achievements at trendy
eateries while reminiscing about cherished memories or forging new ones.
Whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast, a foodie, or someone who cherishes cultural
history, Malibu offers a dynamic mix of experiences that promise to inspire and delight.
The journey is designed not only to showcase Malibu's treasures but also to create
