History of the School
The Los Angeles Academy of Arts & Enterprise (LAAAE) is public, charter school authorized by the Los Angeles Unified School District. Our mission is to prepare students for leadership and success in college and beyond, where creativity, academic knowledge, and business sense are critical. We are developing a generation of diverse, educated, compassionate leaders in arts and business by providing a rigorous college preparatory education that integrates the four lenses of learning, academics, arts, enterprise, and personal growth.
LAAAE was founded by acclaimed film producer Moctesuma Esparza. LAAAE is partnering with Academica, one of the nation's longest-serving and most successful charter school service and support organizations. Academica has proven 100% track-record of supporting high performing charter schools.
In September 2005, we welcomed our inaugural class of sixth grade students--members of the Class of 2012.
We are currently enrolling students in grades 6-12 for the 2011-2012 academic year.
