La Cañada Unified School District Home

Welcome to La Cañada Unified School District!

 

We are enthusiastic to welcome you to the La Cañada Unified School District (LCUSD) community. As we embark on the 2024-2025 school year, we appreciate the opportunity to introduce you to some of the unique and robust programs and services which help to define our district.

About LCUSD

At LCUSD, we pride ourselves on fostering an inclusive and supportive community where every student may thrive. Our district is composed of dedicated educators, qualified staff, and engaged families who work collaboratively to ensure a world class educational experience for our students.

New Programs and Opportunities

This year, we introduced several new programs and courses designed to enrich our students' educational journey. At the high school level, students are now able to register for Advanced Placement Art History, International Cuisine, Advanced Culinary Arts, Yoga, Strength and Conditioning, Single Camera Video Production, and even join a new CIF sport - Flag Football. 

At our elementary school sites, we have expanded our Transitional Kindergarten programs across all three schools, allowing our youngest students to begin their educational journey in their neighborhood schools. This complements our already strong academic offerings. All students also enjoy a host of special learning opportunities such as art, music, drama, computer classes and library. Starting in 3rd grade, students may enroll in Spanish and in 4th grade, LCUSD’s Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) program begins. 

Facilities and Infrastructure

Our commitment to providing state-of-the-art facilities is unwavering. Over the summer, several significant upgrades were completed, including modernizing kindergarten classrooms and constructing new classroom buildings. These improvements ensure that our students have access to  safe and conducive learning environments.  We are grateful to our parents, community partners, and La Cañada Flintridge voters for supporting this work through our bond measure. 

A Thriving Community

The heart of LCUSD lies with its talented and curious students, dedicated staff, and supportive families. Together, we create a community that is unique, vibrant, and committed to academic excellence and developmental growth and wellness.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to you for considering LCUSD. We look forward to welcoming you and your child to our district and embarking together on a journey of intellectual achievement and personal fulfillment.
