The School of Los Angeles (SLA)

A trailblazing academic program. A uniquely diverse community. Rooted in the city we call home. 

At SLA, our students engage in the most forward-thinking experiential and project-based learning, in cutting-edge fields like ecology, artificial intelligence, queer studies, music production, and filmmaking. We know the best educational tool for students is the collaboration and camaraderie of peers from different backgrounds—peers who have stories and perspectives to share, the stuff of life that simply cannot be gleaned from a textbook. That’s why over half of our students receive need-based tuition assistance, empowering us to bring together a community that truly reflects the rich diversity of the city.

An exceptional, transformative education requires a diverse environment grounded in hands-on learning. It gives students access to entire worlds and worldviews they might never otherwise encounter. It opens their hearts and minds to the concerns, struggles, and joys of others—knowledge that will forever shape their convictions and actions in life.
