Duarte Unified School District is a public education system located in Duarte, California. It operates as a mid-sized district that emphasizes opportunities in arts and sciences, connecting students with master artists and scientists through a network of partnerships, including the California School of the Arts, the Leonard Bernstein Foundation, the Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation, VH1 Save the Music Foundation, the LA Arts Collective, and the City of Hope medical research center. These collaborations bring higher education institutions and industry experts into the classroom, supporting teachers, families, and the community as they work to expand students’ skills, knowledge, and learning experiences for college, career, and life. Serving students in the Duarte area, the district aims to broaden access to STEM and arts education by leveraging its partnerships and community ties. A notable development is the 2023 expansion of the CSArts-SGV partnership to include sixth grade in the fall 2024, signaling an extension of arts-integrated opportunities for early adolescence.
