Los Angeles Southwest College Dual Enrollment
“The fact that we have a shared campus with the college allows students to look at what their future can possibly be, as well as we have access to facilities that are being used by professional sports.” - Coach Moreno, Stella High Charter Academy
Additionally, Stella High is located on the Los Angeles Southwest College (LASC) campus, and we offer our students numerous dual enrollment college classes with LASC.
