About us
Orchard Academies, formerly South Region MS #2 houses a co-location between Magnolia Science Academy and two LAUSD schools: The Arts and Media Academy and the Global Studies and Tech Academy. Both of the LAUSD schools offer an Arts-embedded, globally-connected learning environment where enrichment opportunities are abound for every child.
Under the leadership of Principal David Manzo, the Arts and Media Academy offers a holistic educational approach that supports a learner-centered focus and incorporates a project-based, interdisciplinary curriculum. Lastly, the co-location with the Magnolia Science Academy, an independently-operated charter school further offers the community yet another opportunity for making a choice based on student interest and needs.
