School for Advanced Studies
Are you just another face in the crowd?
Come to Canoga, we’ll get to know YOU.
Canoga Park High School is a small campus where we personalize our curriculum. Hunters are not just a face in the crowd; they are "our kids” and we try to meet their individual needs. Our goal is to challenge students academically while providing a safe and enriched social setting.
The Schools for Advanced Studies (SAS) are programs designed throughout LAUSD which have been implemented to improve educational options and increase professional training to support the development of gifted and talented youth. The Schools for Advanced Studies Program receives funding from the District in the form of a block grant. SAS teachers and administrators participate in professional development training. The Schools for Advanced Studies (SAS) Program offers an intensive academic articulated program in which both innovative and traditional courses are taught. The course content is modified to match the students’ achievement level or capacity for learning. Teachers of gifted/talented students "differentiate" the core curriculum through various means, including flexible groupings, acceleration of content, independent study, tiered assignments, interest centers, learning centers, compacting in student's area of strength, mentorship’s, adjusting questions, honors, advanced placement courses, and use of above-grade-level resources. SAS programs comply with a more rigorous standard providing differentiation as an integral part of the regular school day.
