• fosters collaboration and shared responsibility between students, teachers, administrators, staff, and parents;
• promotes the academic success of students through collaboration among teachers, staff, parents, colleges, businesses, social services, and cultural institutions.

Collaborative relationships with our community partners enable HArts Academy to expand and enrich our curriculum and extra-curriculum programs.

Our Harbor Area of Los Angeles is a large, diverse community, and there is much to be celebrated in our corner of the South Bay. HArts Academy embraces this diversity and creates an environment of well-being, both physical and emotional.
