Charter High School of Arts-Multimedia and Performing (CHAMPS) is much more than a learning community; it's a way of life: a way of celebrating all that life and the arts have to offer.To create champions of academic excellence, social responsibility, self-expression, and life-long learning through the arts. The vision of CHAMPS is based on the premise that most young people want to do well, and given the right tools, can succeed. Principal Linda Pierce and the teachers and staff are dedicated to making CHAMPS a place where students actually thrive on the excitement of being in school.CHAMPS is an independent public charter high school offering small arts-infused academic classes including honors and advanced placement, as well as comprehensive academies for liberal arts, dance, drama, film, music, digital arts, written arts and robotics. Students come from diverse backgrounds and a wide geographic area from within the San Fernando Valley and various parts of Los Angeles County. Additionally, CHAMPS' robotics team is the 2014 State VEX robotics champion and winner at the VEX Robotics Competition World Championship, where approximately 500 teams from around the world compete for the top prizes. CHAMPS is accredited by the Western Association of Schools & Colleges (WASC).
