Luis Valdez Leadership Academy (LVLA) is committed to providing a rigorous academic curriculum that instills a lifelong passion for learning and equips students with the skills for social and academic success at four-year colleges, universities, and local community colleges.

With an emphasis on visual and performing arts, digital media and culturally sustaining pedagogy, LVLA will graduate empowered young adults who are poised, confident, and articulate leaders. Our focus on the Spanish language, for both native speakers and learners, enables students to use their education, bi-literacy, and life experiences to create positive change in their own lives, families, and within their communities.

Through leadership, excellence, responsibility, and resilience, our graduates will make a positive impact on the East San Jose community and beyond.
