CITIZENS OF THE WORLD CHARTER SCHOOLS

Citizens of the World Charter Schools — Los Angeles (CWC LA) is a regional network of public, tuition-free charter schools serving a diverse student body across multiple campuses in Los Angeles. The network is governed by a local nonprofit board and is part of the broader national Citizens of the World Charter Schools network. CWC LA operates neighborhood elementary and middle schools organized around an academically rigorous, project-based curriculum with integrated social-emotional learning, multicultural studies, arts and a social-justice focus for older grades. The organization emphasizes diversity-by-design, family engagement, and measurable investment in classroom programs. In recent years CWC LA has focused on campus improvements and curriculum development: it completed a campus expansion at its Mar Vista school for TK–8 families (2024) and has pursued a regional STEAM middle-school curriculum initiative and other program improvements to deepen STEM, robotics and digital media pathways across its middle schools.
