City Charter Schools

Our free, public charter schools provide an educational experience on par with the best schools in the country while emphasizing a mixed-socioeconomic, mixed-ethnicity student body that is truly reflective of Los Angeles. We create a supportive community of learners where students can express concerns and ask for help, develop character and lead. We believe if all students are supported and safe, they will take greater academic risks and achieve more.

We value Diversity.

Our schools are intentionally diverse, welcoming, and equitable learning communities where students and staff members develop self-awareness and cultural competence to work and communicate across lines of difference, and ultimately build a better world.

We value Excellence.

Our instruction inspires curiosity and builds critical skills and deeper thinking. We are actively working to close all achievement gaps. We hold ourselves and each other to the high standards.

We value Community.

We have a positive school and staff culture in which we utilize relationships to build a strong, safe, and supportive community.
