High Tech High Chula Vista is known for its project based learning and small community. While being at this school since Kindergarten, I have been able to learn more about myself while pushing myself to learn skills that will prepare me for the future.

My son attended 4 yrs here. Just graduated this year. I can't emphasize enough of how good this school is, perfect fit for my son who works well with projects. A project based high school helped him with his path in seeking Engineering as a major. The school allows imagination and creativity to lead the students to their passion. Working with groups and mentors made him shine. He had the greatest staff who understood and encouraged him to push himself to be greater.
