Founded in 2011, the Los Angeles Leadership Primary Academy uses mandala words as guiding principles for its community members. Some of these words include empowerment, well-being, love and integrity. This charter school serves around 350 K-5 students in the Los Angeles Unified School District.
Located in the south-central part of Montecito Heights, the school has a rigorous curriculum that includes a dual English-Spanish language program. The school also has a transitional kindergarten for pre-K students. The academy’s in-house literacy center allows students to develop advanced reading skills.
Student activities include an annual Halloween parade, field trips to local farms, attending Los Angeles Dodgers baseball games and more. Students also tend to an urban garden that is on the school grounds. The garden consists of several raised planting beds. The academy’s recreation areas include paved courts and a playground. The primary school is one of three divisions of the Los Angeles Leadership Academy.
