Genuine equality means not treating everyone the same, but attending equally to everyone’s different needs. –Terry Eagleton

From the beginning...The School of Social Justice began in 2002 as small learning community at Belmont High School comprised of a few teachers dedicated to encouraging and harnessing student potential and care into future careers in the public and human services. In 2005, SJ and three other small learning communities applied to be housed at the new central high school campus located just west of Downtown LA in Westlake. SJ finally opened its doors as its own school in 2013 and was awarded its Pilot School status, the state of California's public school response to charter schools. This status affords SJ autonomy over its curriculum and assessments.

...to where we are nowSince 2013, SJ has grown into a community of caring, supportive, socially aware educators and students committed to raising awareness and taking action against social, economic, and political inequities through curriculum tied to the needs of SJ students and their communities. We welcome students of all identities, languages, statuses, abilities, skills, and interests, as we believe that the struggle to eliminate oppression and forage the path to social justice for all is a necessary endeavor in any and every profession. SJ more than just a school; it is also a home and safe place to students who need it most.
