Campus Life

Ánimo City of Champions’ campus life fosters a safe and nurturing environment where students feel comfortable approaching any staff member for questions or simply to be heard. Each student is paired with an adult champion who supports their academic and personal growth, ensuring they feel empowered to express themselves freely. This supportive atmosphere encourages students to actively participate in creating clubs and shaping their high school experience according to their interests and aspirations. At Ánimo City of Champions, we prioritize building strong relationships and providing a supportive community where every student can thrive both academically and personally.

Dual Enrollment

At Ánimo City of Champions, students have the unique opportunity to begin Dual Enrollment courses as early as the spring of their ninth-grade year, all conveniently scheduled during regular school hours. These courses, offered in collaboration with El Camino College and Southwest College, are selected based on elective flexibility, prior history with dual enrollment, and GPA. We believe that participating in dual enrollment not only enhances academic achievement but also aids students in making informed college decisions, learning effective coursework management, and gaining insight into the expectations of college life.

Students can compete in sports like volleyball, cross country, basketball, soccer, baseball, softball, and co-ed cheerleading, providing avenues for physical fitness and team camaraderie. Additionally, our campus hosts various student-led clubs, such as Associated Student Body (ASB), Campus Ambassadors (CAs), City of Gamers, Black Student Union (BSU), Latinx Allies United (LAU), and Yearbook.
