Hey Community, We Need Your Support!

Los Angeles College Prep Academy @lacpacademy nestled in North East Los Angeles, is more than just a high school. We are a beacon of wellness, belonging and critical pedagogy, dedicated to crafting student centered centering wellness, belonging, and critical pedagogy to help create a student-centered, healing-centered school culture. We believe in creating a humanizing school experience where students are embraced for who they are, and where learning revolves around them, not the other way around.

At LACPA we are rewriting the script on schooling. Here’s what sets us apart:

abundant green space and nature-based field trips

college, career, social-emotional counseling

classes that celebrate students’ ethnic history and practices

a daily schedule grounded in trauma-informed knowledge and neuroscience

critical pedagogy that empowers students to challenge systems of oppression

wellness classes encompassing music, art, poetry, carpentry, and more

Our mission is simple: to nurture each student’s sense of self and direction. We understand that personal growth is unique to each individual and celebrate the diversity of our students’ journeys.

But here is the truth: we need your help. After facing financial challenges in the recent years, and with COVID relief funds dwindling, we are at a critical juncture. Your contributions will ensure the continued success and expansion of our program. We are asking you to support the building and expansion of our program.

We believe wholeheartedly in the transformative power of education and the unwavering support of our community.

Join us as we continue to serve our students and the wider community, shaping a brighter future for all.

Student's Voice:

“As a LACPA junior who has been here since freshman year in 2020, this school has become my home. My teachers, friends, and staff have given me love, confidence, belonging, and acceptance. No matter who you are or what you want you wish to do, they understand and support you constantly. This high school is the one I want more than anything to graduate from. I hope to see my baby brother, who's in elementary school, graduate from LACPA. I want to graduate alongside my friends, teachers, and staff. LACPA is more than a high school, it's a revolution for what education should be. I hope that future generations can experience the love and family LACPA has given me as a student, and as a person.” 11th Grade Student

“Over the years as a person, I know I have grown in my knowledge and understanding in educational and personal growth. Plus the connections with the staff and community is like no other school I have been to. For once I have been excited for my future and education, and to find my purpose.” 11th Grade Student
