Welcome

La Mesa Arts Academy serves 4th-8th graders. Enrollment is open to students throughout the LMSV attendance area, as well as, those from outlying communities in greater San Diego County. For the 2023-2024 school year, a transfer will be required for all 4th-6th graders and for 7th-8th graders that this is not their home school. A lottery will be held for all transfer students. LMAAC is proud to offer our students a rigorous and meaningful academic program infused with the arts, featuring a comprehensive, interdisciplinary, standards-based arts curriculum that promotes character, community involvement, and leadership skills.

School Announcements:

We are currently FULL in all grades for the 2022-2023 school year. If you would like to be added to our waitlist, please contact our office.

For the 2023-2024 school year, the transfer application period begins on December 1, 2022, through February 15, 2023. If your student will be a 4th, 5th, or 6th grader, you will need to complete a transfer to be considered for the lottery. If you are applying for a 7th or 8th grader, please be sure to check your address here. Later this school year, the district will send out a survey asking where your current 6th grader plans to attend for the 2023-2024. It will be extremely important that you complete this survey. If LMAAC is not your home school, please complete a transfer form to be considered for the lottery.
