For over 20 years, Humanitas has led the way in implementing innovative teaching strategies that have been proven to raise students’ academic performance, keep them in school, and kindle an abiding interest in learning. Today, Humanitas is a network of more than 400 teachers working in interdisciplinary teams in 44 small learning communities at 27 LAUSD high schools, affecting the education of over approximately 13,000 students. These educators devise integrated classroom curriculum that engages students in an in-depth exploration of the arts and humanities and, in the process, expands student learning as well as teacher knowledge and skills.
Using a unique team-teaching and team-learning approach that emphasizes a theme taught across multiple subjects, Humanitas has improved student performance and increased teacher motivation and skill. Based on data developed in spring 2005, Humanitas students are, on average, 30% more likely to graduate from high school than are their peers.

Since its inception in 1985, Humanitas has partnered with prominent art, business and educational organizations wanting to affect the instruction of students in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the California African-American Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Art, the J. Paul Getty Museum, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, Page Museum La Brea Tar Pit, Loyola Marymount University and UCLA’s Fowler Museum of Cultural History are among the many providing time and resources to Humanitas teachers and students. Now in our 22nd year, Humanitas held another Teachers’ Institute at LACMA, focusing on the critically acclaimed exhibit: “The Arts of Latin America 1492-1820.” In 2005 and 2006, Teacher Institutes were held around the Cézanne and Magritte exhibits. From 2002-2005, under the auspices of a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, LACMA educators worked with teachers from Bell High School to develop art-focused interdisciplinary lessons for online publication. Those lessons can be viewed at www.laep.org/humanitas For the 2008/2009 school year, the J. Paul Getty Museum is sponsoring 40 curricular trips for Humanitas students. Humanitas is in its 16th year of a partnership with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS). Twice a year, teachers meet with AMPAS staff and design a three-day media literacy project for up to 400 eleventh grade students.
