NEW VILLAGE GIRLS ACADEMY

New Village Girls Academy is a Title I public charter high school that is part of the Los Angeles Unified school district, located in Los Angeles, CA with about 84 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 7 teachers, New Village Girls Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 12:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

New Village Girls Academy, located in the Westlake neighborhood of Los Angeles, is a specialized charter high school dedicated to serving young women who have faced significant obstacles in traditional educational settings. Founded on the principle of providing a supportive and therapeutic environment, the school focuses on girls who may have experienced systemic trauma, contact with the juvenile justice system, or foster care placement. By maintaining small class sizes and a trauma-informed pedagogical approach, New Village creates a "wraparound" support system that prioritizes the social-emotional well-being of its students alongside their academic achievement.

The school’s curriculum is designed to be highly personalized, allowing students to recover credits and work toward graduation through an individualized learning plan. Beyond academics, New Village emphasizes holistic growth, offering on-site counseling, mentorship programs, and life-skills training to help students build self-advocacy and prepare for life after high school. By blending rigorous educational standards with deep personal support, the academy serves as a bridge for young women to stabilize their lives and pursue college, vocational training, or meaningful careers in a nurturing community.
