FALL SEMESTER 2009

One of our school goals as stated in our WASC accreditation document is for Animo Venice Charter High School to continue to develop an effective support system for our students. Support systems come from all members of the school community. One important member of this support team can come from the parent community.

Arts Advocacy - What Parents Can Do

The mission of Ánimo Venice Charter High School is to prepare students for college, leadership, and life through innovative instruction, a rigorous curriculum, and the use of technology. At Ánimo Venice, we are committed to the education, and social and economic success of students who historically are unlikely to attend and excel at an institution of higher learning. We aim to achieve our mission by creating a student-centered environment that unifies the efforts of family, community, and school to foster life-long learning, cross-cultural competency, social responsibility, and academic excellence.
