Valencia Academy of the Arts

Valencia Academy of the Arts brings a creative twist to elementary education in Pico Rivera, a tight-knit, predominantly Latino community in the southeast corner of Los Angeles County where neighbors still know each other's names. The arts-integrated focus makes it a natural fit for families who want their kids to develop creative confidence alongside solid academic fundamentals. It's a solid neighborhood school in a community that takes pride in its local institutions, and the surrounding area offers that quintessential SGV-adjacent suburban feel — quiet residential streets, easy freeway access, and a strong sense of place.
