Partnerships and Special Programs
In our effort to provide all our students with a rich and well-rounded education, our school has in place various programs that aim to reach the minds of all learners.
Among the various outstanding programs our school offers are:
- Gifted Arts & Technology Magnet Center for grades 2-5 (one class per grade)
- Gifted students are clustered in every grade for differentiated instruction.
- All people have unique talent and different ways of thinking and visualizing solutions from others. LA Makerspace is a way to celebrate this together as a community. The “Maker” education style is a project-based and confidence-building way to learn challenging concepts. These kinds of skills transfer well to 21st century jobs, because Maker projects unlock innovative abilities! Taking hands-on creativity a step beyond do-it-yourself, we believe that Makers are at their best working in community, where ideas and resources can be shared. Our mission is to make sure all youth in L.A. have the opportunity to learn STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) skills.
- A certificated Physical Education Instructor who serves our students once a week.
- A year-round visual arts & dance program on site once a week.
- We have a unique partnership with Inner-City Arts, which provides our students with the tools and skills they need to succeed academically and personally. Our students are very fortunate to visit the Inner-City Arts campus where they get to work with professional teaching artists in well-equipped studios and performance spaces.
- We also have a strong partnership with the LA Philarmonic through its "YOLA Neighborhood Project".
