Da Vinci RISE High
Charter High School
El Segundo, CA
About
Across its three campuses, this progressive competency-based high school personalizes education to each individual, helping them to learn and acquire skills for trades or pursue higher education – or both, and no two students have the same course of instruction or pathway. Da Vinci RISE uses a trauma informed restorative justice model to serve the highest need students, including the foster, transient, and youth in other challenged circumstances. School leader Erin Whalen is working to create small centers throughout the city of Los Angeles instead of one central hub to best support their students.
