About Us

The award-winning California School of the Arts – San Gabriel Valley (CSArts-SGV) provides a creative, challenging, and nurturing environment that offers bright and talented students unparalleled preparation for higher education and a profession in the arts.

Founded in 2017, CSArts-SGV currently serves a diverse student body of approximately 1,200 gifted students in grades 6-12 from more than 80 cities within and outside of the San Gabriel Valley. While middle school students receive their academic instruction through Duarte Unified School District (DUSD) and their arts instruction through CSArts-SGV, high school students attend both academic and arts classes full-time on the CSArts-SGV campus. In addition to a college-preparatory academic program, CSArts-SGV offers pre-professional arts training in a variety of conservatories within the Schools of Dance, Fine & Media Arts, Music, and Theatre. This innovative public charter school embraces and encourages artistic creativity and academic excellence, producing lifelong learners who matriculate to top tier colleges, universities, and conservatory programs. CSArts-SGV is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).

As a public charter school, CSArts-SGV is donation dependent, but no student is offered or denied admission based on financial capacity. Through a public-private partnership, the State of California provides funding for the academic instructional program offered at CSArts-SGV; however, the school must privately raise approximately $4 million to fund the arts conservatory programs each year. CSArts-SGV relies heavily on its families and the community-at-large to reach this goal.
