Los Cerritos Middle School understands, values, and addresses the complex social, emotional, and physical needs of middle school students. Working as partners with their parents, we guarantee them a quality education through a varied, comprehensive, and rigorous curricular and extracurricular program designed to nurture ethical citizens and life-long learners. We continually strive to improve the learning environment and programs for all students.
Our staff is committed to creating an educational environment that we would seek for our own children. In order to support the continued growth of the students at Los Cerritos, we have incorporated two cornerstone programs and adapted them to meet the needs of our students and families. We strive to know our students' strengths and areas for improvement and have formalized reporting mechanisms to help measure, monitor, and intervene to help all students reach their potential. Our Response-to-Intervention (Rti2/MTSSA) initiative delivers targeted interventions and support to students every Wednesday across all subjects. Simultaneously, it provides enrichment and extension opportunities to students who may benefit from additional challenges. Each method enables us to diagnose individual student progress and school-wide progress to address the needs of individual students. The safety and security of our students is paramount. Our leadership team and teachers have incorporated the CHAMPS model to create a positive behavior support and management program based on teachers building and implementing a proactive and positive approach to classroom management, adopting common language among staff to address issues, and a focus on continuous improvement. The Ventura County Office of Education has named Los Cerritos a model program in our county based on our commitment to the CHAMPs program.
Our premier Performing Arts Program (Choir, Orchestra, and Band) is a premier program in the District, the county, and the state. With over 450 students participating in one of these three programs, it has become a force at our school. Awards are not in short supply as all three groups have distinguished themselves with ""superior"" ratings and many County/State awards.
We are also a Professional Development School with California Lutheran University - this partnership focuses on creating a shared, common vision of teaching and learning grounded in research and best professional practices. This program is a collaboration between students, our teacher candidates, school and university faculty, and the community for the benefit of our students. Los Cerritos is a Ventura County Office of Education Model School for CHAMPS/Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS). We work with a cadre of county schools and work together to implement effective classroom management practices that are built on positive interactions, teaching and modeling classroom and school expectations, and designing school schedules/structures that will promote a positive and safe school environment.

Sequoia Middle School is a Candidate School for the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme! This school is pursuing authorization as an IB World School. These are schools that share a common philosophy—a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education that Sequoia Middle School believes is important for our students.
The MYP is a challenging framework that encourages students to make practical connections between their studies and the real world. Throughout the International Baccalaureate (IB) MYP candidacy process, this framework will be implemented as a schoolwide model, which will benefit all students that attend Sequoia Middle School.
Sequoia Middle School is the only middle school in the district to implement a unique Block Schedule permitting students to focus on three classes a day rather than the traditional six. Students rotate through designated periods every day. Classes are 91 minutes long. This allows for longer instructional blocks so that students are able to practice skills and begin homework, and it prepares students for their transition to Newbury Park High School's block schedule.
Sequoia Middle School also focuses on the social-emotional needs of students with a school-wide Social Emotional Learning (SEL) program called CREW every day after lunch. CREW stands for Compassion, Responsibility, Empowerment and Well-being. On Mondays and Wednesday- Fridays during CREW, all students participate in activities related to developing positive character traits and strengthening school connections. On Wednesdays and Thursdays, students work independently on silent reading, homework, and makeup work completion or receive additional support in academic areas.
Sequoia Middle School is also the home of the Discover Academy. The Discover Academy is a school within a school that uses engineering and applied science as interdisciplinary themes. Discover also promotes hands-on, innovative, and inquiry-based instruction to encourage students' lifelong love of learning in both traditional and small group settings.
Finally, Sequoia offers a host of Exploratory Classes which introduce students to a variety of disciplines. These classes include Art, Principle of Computer Science, ASB (Associated Student Body), Band, Choir, Digital Production, Epic Wellness, Guitar, Spanish, Strings and Yearbook.
