Our schools have the distinct honor of being named Distinguished Schools and Gold Ribbon winners by the State of California. We are also proud that our community has recognized us as the number one District in the South Bay for the past two years.
We take immense pride in the rich diversity that defines our students and families. We offer a welcoming and inclusive environment where our students learn from one another and are growing into empathetic global citizens who celebrate differences and are ready to contribute to our global economy.
We offer a wide range of athletic opportunities for students to excel both physically and mentally. Our dedicated coaches and state-of-the-art facilities (including a district pool and new indoor gyms,) provide the perfect environment for developing skills, fostering teamwork, and building character. We love celebrating the achievements of our regional and CIF finalists and following the updates of those students who continue to play sports in college and professionally.
Our students have the opportunity to delve into exploring their passions as they prepare for life after graduation. Our partnerships with businesses and industry experts give students a chance to explore career pathways that interest them before making a commitment. Examples include:
• Arts/Media/Fashion Design
• Building and Construction Trades
• Business
• Education/Child Development
• Engineering
• Environment
• Hospitality & Tourism

We believe that college should be accessible to every student who wants to go. Thanks to our partnership with nearby El Camino College, our students are able to see themselves in college while taking college classes that count for both high school and college credits. This helps save valuable time and money and helps make the dream of college a reality. Through our Early College program, our students can also graduate with all of their college general education requirements already complete!
We prepare our students for the rapidly evolving world of technology and innovation. We offer a variety of STEM experiences including our robotics program, drone classes, math labs, and engineering pathways designed to inspire our students to be the driving force behind future ideas and advancements. Our students consistently place in local, state, and national competitions in robotics, science inventions, and mathematics.
Through our Dual Language Immersion Program, selected students in transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten have the opportunity to start their educational journey learning both English and Spanish side-by-side with their native-speaking peers. Starting on a path to bilingualism at an early age provides many cognitive, academic, social, and developmental benefits.
We are known for our high-scoring, quality academics. When compared to similar school districts of our size and student population, we are ranked first in math and reading test scores, attendance, and graduation rates among other key indicators. Students who attend Torrance Unified gain a top-rate education and leave prepared for what comes next.
