Hundreds of thousands of San
Fernando Valley students attend a wide variety of area schools each day, taking advantage
of the broad range of educational opportunities offered in this area.
California State University,
Northridge
Educational experiences to be had in and around the Valley run the
gamut from world-renowned public and
private universities, to excellent community
colleges, vocational programs and adult
schools. Continuing education programs and night classes at many schools allow thousands
of employed men and women to easily continue their studies and upgrade their occupational
status. In addition, some of the best public elementary schools in the County of Los
Angeles are located here, as are first-rate private schools and many fine preschools and
day care centers.
Manufacturing Technologies Laboratory
(MTL)
The MTL is a unique
teaching/learning center, housed in a 36-foot mobile trailer.
The purpose of the MTL is to increase academic performance through
project-based "learning by doing," for both college and
non-college bound students. Students integrate manufacturing
technology with math, science, writing and research.
