Academic excellence and community education are high priorities in Gardena.
In addition to nine public and five private Elementary schools, the
City has eight Preschools, one City-operated Family Child Care program
and three Japanese Language schools. The elementary schools offer a
Tri-Lingual Magnet in Japanese-Spanish-English and a Bi-Lingual Korean-English
Program. Peary Middle School has a Math-Science Magnet, and Gardena
High School is the home of Southern California International Business
Academy and a Foreign Language Magnet in French-Spanish-Japanese. Gardena
