Arabic, French, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish!
Our Mission is to bring the world to our students by teaching our students how to analyze and evaluate claims and data with the ultimate goal of promoting Acceptance, Equity, and Justice, so that some day, we may achieve World Peace.
Our Vision is to see our students become Active Participants in the community. Students who listen to others respectfully, respectfully advocate for themselves, and who affect change based on an ethical, informed frame of mind- in both major roles like political office, and in every day acts, like saying "arigato" and "gracias."

*Please note that WLGS is a program for students with no prior experience in the language they will study, and that they will need to take 4 years of that language. Students cannot sample languages and take one year of each as this would not satisfy California Education Code requirements as well as LAUSD Graduation Requirements.
**The WLGS Magnet does not offer Mandarin as a course of study. The Mandarin program at Venice High School is part of the Dual Language Academy, which has its own requirements and application process. Students seeking a seat in the DLA Mandarin Program must have been enrolled for 8 years in an immersion program, or show the equivalent knowledge through testing. Applications for this program are under the e-choices page, in the Multilingual/Multicultural section, and is not a magnet program.
***Students whose home language is Spanish may not select Spanish as their language of study. For students who want to improve their advanced knowledge of Spanish given their experience with it at home, we will work with the students to see if in their junior or senior year they can concurrently take their language of study class and AP Spanish Language. This is only an option for students who are on-track towards graduation. Students who undertake this challenge often also qualify for the Double Seal of Biliteracy, although this is not guaranteed
Additional Requirements:
- All WLGS students must take H Geography in 9th grade.
- All WLGS students must complete a Service Learning Project with a connection to the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
- All WLGS students must be able to identify and discuss a set of key terms related to global studies, including, but not limited to immigration/emigration/migration, diplomacy, human rights, government/private/public sectors, ethics, financial literacy, etc., and will work on a yearly portfolio that will aid them in the goal of a Senior Defense prior to graduation.
