What if there was a middle school where students were asked to care about how their mind works? Where students were asked to wonder out loud. Imagine a place where kids are excited to learn. What if this place allowed students to struggle and helped them view perseverance through struggle as an opportunity for growth?

Does IVA have a high school option?

Intellectual Virtues Academy High School

As you know, IVA is recognized for its research-based, intellectually challenging and supportive academic program. In the fall of 2016, the Academy began extending the intellectual virtues education model to the high school, equipping every student to think well: critically, creatively, and with a capacity for self-growth.  

The Academy invites you to learn more and experience the high school firsthand at one of the upcoming open house events or school tours. The first is on Tuesday, October 25 at 6 p.m. You can find valuable open house and school tour information on the newly launched Academy website, www.academylongbeach.org. If you are interested in completing an application for the 2017-2018 school year, you may complete an online application here or you may request a paper copy of the application by calling Academy front office at (562) 283-4456. 

Academy students are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and “habits of mind” needed for success in college, careers, and beyond! The Academy Team looks forward to getting to know your family as your child transitions into high school. 

Can my child attend a high school in another district?

Many public high schools outside of the Long Beach Unified School District accept students from other districts. Each school or school district will have its own protocols for application, and we invite you to contact schools you may be interested in directly for more information.

What is the timeline for applying to area high schools?

A timeline of the 2016-17 application process can be found here on the LBUSD website.

What is an SLC (Small Learning Community)?

Many LBUSD high schools offer a Small Learning Community option. To find out more about these programs, which focus on a particular area of interest in preparing for college or career, browse the list of High School Pathways links here.
