Extra Curricular Clubs 2021

With more clubs per student and field trips a year than even large private schools, IVA High students have more fun as they engage with each other and explore beyond their classrooms. They attend Spanish Club fiestas, win basketball tournaments, attend movie nights together, and plan field trips and boat dances. At IVA High, you are not just classmates, you are friends.

"You are encouraged to be yourself both in the classroom and on the basketball court" - Tony Gumbs 2020 Triton Award Winner

"Here, when you see somebody, you automatically become friends with them." - Trenton Myles

IVA High believes that learning should be connected to the world. Teachers, administrators, and partner organizations connect students' curiosities and passions to learning outside of the classroom. That is most often done by engaging in discussions and connecting projects in the classroom with real world issues. More robust connections are made in the community through field trips, which we offer four times a year. Here is a sample of places IVA High students have visited:

GPS Your Future - Career Fair
Aquarium of the Pacific
College and University Campus Tours and Fairs
Disneyland - Physics Day
Knott’s Berry Farm - Physics Day

Part of what makes these years so memorable is enjoying the high school experience: attend Spanish Club fiestas, play games and compete in on campus tournaments, attend movie nights together, and plan field trips and dances. At most schools, these things are offered but few attend; at IVA High, virtually everybody participates in at least one of these events. Part of the family feel of IVA High is not only do we work well together in the classroom, but also we know how to have fun together. Campus activities that have been offered at the IVA High include:

Dances
Prom
Dia de Muertos Celebration
Exhibitions of Learning
