Education:\u00a0<\/strong>
\nAcademic excellence and community education are high priorities in Gardena. In addition to nine public and five private Elementary schools, the City has eight Preschools, one City-Operated Family Child Care program and three Japanese language schools. The elementary schools offer a tri-lingual Magnet in Japanese-Spanish-English and a bi-lingual Korean-English program. Peary Middle School has a Math-Science Magnet, and Gardena High School is the home of Southern California International Business Academy and a Foreign Language Magnet in French-Spanish-Japanese. Gardena is also very proud of the highly respected private Junipero Serra High School, the Sellery School for Special Education, and the George Kiriyama Community school, an adult school which offers over 200 community-based classes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
