Welcome

La Mesa Arts Academy currently serves 5th-8th graders. For the 2025 – 2026 school year, we will serve 6th – 8th graders. 

It is the goal of LMAAC to provide students with an innovative arts program where they perform in visual arts, dance, music, and theater using an interdisciplinary curriculum that develops creative talents in order to attain measurable artistic and academic excellence, while also creating opportunities that will support our underlying principle of character and leadership!

2025 – 2026 School Year

For the 2025 - 2026 school year, we will have grades 6-8. This will be the home school for our residents in grades 6-8. You can check your address here. You may also apply for a transfer if this is not your home school. The transfer window will be from December 2, 2024, to February 17, 2025.

If you live within the La Mesa Spring Valley School District but not in the LMAAC boundaries, you will need to complete an intradistrict transfer request here.

If you live outside the La Mesa Spring Valley School District, you will need to complete an interdistrict transfer request here. This form will need to be signed off by your home school district FIRST and then submitted to the LMSV school district office or by email at transfers@lmsvschools.org. For more information regarding transfers, please see our district website here under Transfers & Open Enrollment.

If this is your home school and are not currently attending in our district, you will need to enroll your student here beginning February 1, 2025. If you are waiting on a transfer approval, please do not enroll until your transfer has been approved.

No school tours are currently being scheduled.
