Geffen Academy at UCLA Community Time

A key mechanism by which we build school community is through grade-wide and division-wide assemblies we call Community Time. These gatherings offer students and Educators moments to engage with culturally relevant topics and events in a dynamic, interactive setting.

Some of our past Community Times have included:

A conversation with Donzaleigh Abernathy, civil rights activist and actress
A keynote by Lawrence Ross on institutional racism on high school and college campuses
A conversation with Sam Mihara, a survivor of Japanese internment camps during WWII
Lunar New Year celebrations
Nowruz celebrations
Grade-level trivia competitions
Halloween costume contest
Holiday gingerbread house competition
