School Mission Statement

Olympic High School provides meaningful alternative educational opportunities that empower every student to thrive. We unlock student potential through culturally responsive teaching, academic rigor, and equitable access to resources in a safe, supportive environment. Our commitment is to foster lifelong learning and success—every classroom, every day, all the time.

School Description

Olympic High School is the continuation high school of the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District and is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. We serve students who are behind in academic credits, thrive in a smaller setting, and benefit from a diverse curriculum with individualized support.

Our students represent a richly diverse population engaged in a personalized academic environment guided by dedicated teachers and staff. With a blended learning model that combines online coursework, teacher-led workshops, and project-based learning, students progress at their own pace and can earn 90–120 credits annually—often recovering credits more quickly than in traditional schools.

At Olympic, we build on each student’s strengths while providing rigorous, culturally responsive instruction in a safe and supportive environment. Every day, in every classroom, we are committed to helping students succeed academically, personally, and in preparation for lifelong learning.
