HighTech LA
it was a college prep school. This is a school
design for everybody to prepare them
for college and whatever comes after college for them.
Our goal is to make sure that everybody has
as many options as they possibly can
after they finish high school.
We try to make sure that students have an opportunity
to learn by doing. We try
to get them as hands-on as they possibly can.
We feel that that
engages the brain at a different level
and prepares them better for both
college and for a career.
We think that it's really important in
this environment to make sure that every
single teenager
in Los Angeles every single teenager in
Los Angeles has a place that they can go to
feel at home.
That's what we're trying to do HighTech LA
We don't learn a bunch of facts
and read textbooks and then do
some sort of culminating project at the end.
Project based learning is using a project as the curriculum
to learn real-world skills,
learn about real-world problems and
come authentic student-driven solutions to them.
If I had one word to describe HighTech LA
it would be caring and that
is proven every single day by the teachers,
staff, and another students.
That are involved in my child's life.
The support that she gets here from everyone is incredible.
I would definitely say that HighTech LA
a lot of different options and programs
for students get involved in. We have a lot of great resources
for students who really like science and technology
but we also have things like drama.
We have things like Students Run LA which is athletic.
We have lots of different organizations for student to get involved
with and students often even start their own clubs.
So there's definitely something here for all types of different students.
