Humanitas
 - emphasis on thought-provoking study of "the Humanities"* subjects
- a unique team-teaching and team-learning approach that emphasizes a common theme taught across multiple subjects
- engages students by incorporating the arts into the core classroom         
- helps students learn by making connections between
subjects (Art, English, History, etc.)

  is a 4500 student, year-round campus located in South LA,

* "The Humanities" In Humanitas *
Art. Literature. History. ... The Humanities (subjects that study the human condition) inspire people from all walks of life to recognize and draw meaning from their connections to the past and to other cultures. They also help us to honor and celebrate the experiences in our own communities.

The humanities are the stories, ideas and writings that help us make sense of our lives and enhance our capability to think imaginatively and critically about our world.

Whenever you question human values, make art, view a documentary film, learn the history of another culture, or are mesmerized by a story, you are experiencing the humanities.
