Affinity Spaces
We are proud to offer affinity groups that honor and uplift the diverse experiences of our students, families, and staff. These spaces are all about building strong communities, sharing valuable resources, and ensuring every family feels a deep sense of belonging.
Families can explore our affinity spaces by participating in events held throughout the year or contacting the group leaders (below). We warmly welcome involvement from current families, alumni, and newcomers alike. If you’re interested in getting involved or want to learn more, use the “Contact Group” feature below. As our community grows, so do our affinity spaces, and we’re excited to support new spaces that further enrich our school's inclusive spirit.

Black Enrichment & Resources for Students
The Black Enrichment & Resources for Students (BEARS) is a family-created space for connection and shared experience among Black/African American families and those raising Black/African American children within our school community.
BEARS centers on community, education, and special events — from gatherings and discussions to workshops like our recent textured hair event — helping families connect, celebrate identity, and experience a strong sense of belonging and affirmation.

Neurodiversity Family Group
WHPS offers the Neurodiverse Family Affinity Group (NAG) as a space for connection and shared understanding among families whose children bring a range of learning styles, temperaments, and developmental profiles to our community.
NAG focuses on affirmation, parent dialogue, and shared learning, helping families feel supported and connected while strengthening partnership with educators.
Please note: WHPS evaluates readiness and overall program fit during admissions and on an ongoing basis. Based on the school’s evaluation of program alignment, supports, and classroom expectations, at times, WHPS may not be the right fit for every learner.

Private School Village (PSV) connects families and students across Los Angeles independent schools to share resources, expand opportunities, and build a broader sense of community and belonging.
Through cultural enrichment programs, racial literacy learning, affinity spaces, family leadership opportunities, and scholarship access, PSV supports connection, empowerment, and meaningful engagement beyond the WHPS campus.
