The **Social Justice Humanitas Academy (SJHA)** is a small, pilot-status high school located on the Cesar E. Chavez Learning Academies campus in San Fernando, California. Established through a collaborative effort between dedicated educators and the local community, the school is built on a foundation of equity, social justice, and student-centered learning. Its curriculum is designed to move beyond traditional rote memorization, emphasizing critical thinking, collaborative projects, and the development of "humanistic" values that encourage students to become active, compassionate citizens in their local and global communities.

The academy is well-regarded for its tight-knit culture, where a low student-to-teacher ratio fosters strong mentorship and personalized academic support. By integrating a "Humanitas" approach—which focuses on the humanities, social responsibility, and real-world problem solving—the school aims to bridge the achievement gap and prepare students for success in higher education and professional careers. Through its commitment to democratic governance and shared decision-making, SJHA strives to create an inclusive environment where student voices are prioritized and school pride is centered on collective growth and social advocacy.
