We foster a nurturing community.

We meet students where they are.

We prepare all of our students for college, leadership, and life.

We engage parents as partners.

Message from the Principal

Ánimo Ralph Bunche (ARB) opened its doors in 2006 with the goal of transforming public education in the local area. The mission of ARB is to prepare all students for college, leadership, and life. ARB prides itself in providing a daily Advisory program where students are able to check in with an adult to review their academic and social-emotional progress. ARB is proud to offer a variety of CIF sports teams as well as extensive club offerings through our After School Program. Our goal is for every graduate to leave ARB with a clear plan for their future education and employment. Let’s go Stallions!
