How To Enroll

The Choices Brochure is Available Now

Valley Alternative is one of the Los Angeles Unified Magnet School, In early November of each year, the Choices Brochure is published. It lists all Magnet Schools and where they are located. It also contains the application for magnet school. This brochure is mailed to all students who are currently enrolled in the Los Angeles Unified School System. The brochures can also be picked up at a local L. A. Unified Public School's during late November early December of that year. It is necessary to reside in Los Angeles in order to attend any magnet school.

In order to enroll in Valley Alternative, the application form must be filled out and submitted to the Magnet Office by the deadline, which is usually in mid-January for the following school year. The Magnet Office determines the student's points. You can receive points in a few ways: by having a sibling in that school and/or by being on the waiting list from previous years. In May, letters will go out telling you if your child has or has not been accepted to the school. If you were added to the waiting list, then its encouraged to submit a new application for our school every year until your child get's accepted.

For those parents wanting to see the school before you apply we offer tours of the campus in November and December. The dates will be posted on the School web site once they are announced. This is the only time we will be conducting the tours, so plan accordingly.

If you wish to be added to our mailing list and receive the most up to date information about the application process, including tour dates and when the applications is available, please email Joshua Bryan at jlb9175@lausd.net.
