Learning by Design Charter

Learning by Design Charter sits in the 90047 zip code of South Los Angeles, a neighborhood with deep roots and a tight-knit community feel that's seen a lot of investment and change in recent years. The school's project-based, hands-on approach to learning will appeal to families looking for something beyond a traditional classroom setup, though test scores currently sit below the district average — something to keep in mind as the school continues to develop. It's a good fit for parents who are drawn to the charter model and want to be closely involved in shaping a younger school's culture and direction.
