Who We Are

City of Angels School is the independent study school for the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) and offers K-12 students a full-time educational program through weekly appointments.  Students at City of Angels School must meet a minimum of one hour per week with their assigned teacher and receive 30 hours of work to complete at home. It is designed for students with special interests and abilities, scheduling problems, or individual needs that cannot be accommodated in the traditional school setting. We provide a highly flexible, supportive, and individualized program of instruction and counseling to assist students in the completion of their education.

The curriculum at City of Angels School is California standards-based instruction. With the approval of his/her counselor, a student has the opportunity to concurrently enroll in community college or adult school and receive high school and college credits.We offer classes that fulfill the A-G UC and CSU general education requirements, and are fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).  We are also the only independent/online study program in the country to be certified by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).  Students who graduate from our program will receive an official LAUSD diploma.
