A Head Start on College
Students can dually enroll in both high school and college
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!
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Focus
Problem-solving, critical thinking, and collaboration skills
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.
Teaching Biliteracy
Learning two languages starts early
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.
Top Test Scores and Graduation Rates
Consistently ranked first among peer districts
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.
