What de Toledo High School does

de Toledo High School is a private, coed, 9th-12th grade college preparatory Jewish high school operating from a single campus at 22622 Vanowen Street in West Hills, California, serving families in the San Fernando Valley and greater Los Angeles area. Founded in 2002 as New Community Jewish High School and renamed in 2015 following a transformational gift from Alyce and Philip de Toledo, the school integrates rigorous college-prep academics with Jewish studies, Hebrew, and global Jewish education. Its product surface includes several signature programs layered on the core curriculum: the LEAP academic support program with blended and online learning delivered through a proprietary deTOP (de Toledo Online and Personalized) platform that integrates Edgenuity, Virtual High School, Edmentum, OJSC, and Language Bird; a three-year Medical Science Academy with surgery internships and international medical missions; a three-year Engineering and Robotics Academy with FIRST Robotics Competition participation; a Speech and Debate program; a Spirulina Research Program with a biennial Uganda partnership; a Senior Capstone Program; and a Global Jewish Education program with 11 international exchange partnerships spanning Israel, Uruguay, Hungary, Italy, Mexico, Turkey, and Uganda. Co-curricular programming encompasses Jaguar Athletics (20+ teams), performing and visual arts, an annual all-school Shabbaton at Brandeis-Bardin, and experiential education tied to each grade level.

The school operates as an independent nonprofit governed by a Board of Directors, with Mark Shpall serving as Head of School since July 2018. Revenue is generated from tuition, summer programs, and an active philanthropy program including an annual giving campaign and the Powell Legacy Endowment Fund (with a dollar-for-dollar match program to $500,000); major-donor giving circles range from $540 to $18,000+ annually. The school holds triple accreditation from CAIS, WASC, and BJE, has graduated over 1,000 students since its first class in 2006, and reports college outcomes spanning 140+ premier institutions including Yale, Columbia, Northwestern, UC Berkeley, UCLA, USC, and Duke. The school employs between 251 and 500 people and uses a direct-admission GTM motion anchored by campus visits, an annual Open House drawing 500+ guests, and a multi-channel digital presence (website, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok).
