Welcome

La Entrada High School is an independent study program in the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District. Located in Yorba Linda, California, the program is designed for students who desire an alternative to traditional classroom instruction as a way in which to earn their high school diploma. La Entrada means "gateway" in Spanish. As such La Entrada High School is the "Gateway to the Future" through alternative instruction.

La Entrada is a student centered public program that partners students, parents and staff to provide a dynamic learning environment that promotes high academic achievement, personal and social responsibility and empowers students to meet the challenges of a changing world. Students select independent study classes as well as attend concurrent classes at their home schools, attend community college classes and participate in ROP programs. Often students who were not successful at the comprehensive high school thrive at their new alternative setting. Student programs are personalized and designed to meet the goals, interests and learning style of each individual student. La Entrada has a formal graduation ceremony and students may participate in traditional school activities at their home schools.
