About the Charter High School (9-12)

Reseda Charter High School is one of only ten secondary span schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District serving grades 6–12, with a dynamic charter high school program focused on preparing students for college, career, and life after graduation. Originally opened in 1955, our campus blends strong neighborhood roots with expanded opportunities for students from across Los Angeles who join us through the charter lottery. Located in a residential community bordering Tarzana and adjacent to Reseda Park, our high school provides a supportive environment where students can explore interests, build skills, and discover their future pathway.
 
 
 
Career Readiness
 
Our 9–12 Charter Academy is built around hands-on learning, college access, and career exploration.
 
Career Technical Education (CTE) Pathways
Students can complete a full CTE pathway that builds real-world skills and industry experience in fields such as:
  • Computer Science & Game Design

  • Patient Care: Sports Medicine

  • Visual & Performing Arts: Dance

  • Public Service through NJROTC

 

CTE pathways help students graduate with career-ready skills, internships, and a clear sense of direction for life after high school.

 
 
 

College Readiness

At Reseda Charter High School, college preparation is built into the high school experience.

 

Advanced Placement (AP) Courses
Students can challenge themselves through a wide range of AP courses that develop critical thinking, college-level writing, and academic confidence. AP coursework allows students to:

      • Earn potential college credit
      • Strengthen university applications
      • Experience the rigor of college-level expectations while still in high school

 

CAL-GETC Pathway
Through CAL-GETC, students have the opportunity to complete transferable general education coursework aligned to California public universities. This means students can:

      • Get a head start on college requirements
      • Reduce the time and cost needed to earn a degree
      • Graduate high school already on track for university success

 

Combined with dedicated counseling and academic guidance, our AP and CAL-GETC pathways ensure students graduate not just eligible for college — but prepared to thrive once they get there.
