The Global Media Studies (GMS) magnet is a four-year, interdisciplinary program focused on social justice themes and creative media. GMS students are encouraged and supported as they explore the pressing issues facing the planet via their academic and elective classes. Students learn to communicate their ideas through meaningful media projects, which are featured in our annual showcase of student work, GMS Fest. All freshmen take a common elective, Film Integrating Art, and then have a choice of pathways beginning in 10th grade. Those elective pathways include animation/drawing, video production, and our student broadcast journalism class, KCAV. Students may also opt for an acting class specific to film and television, or join our leadership/Media Arts class. (Both KCAV and our Media Arts classes require applications.) Every grade level includes collaborative media projects that span students’ academic and elective classes. GMS clubs include Cinema Club, Animation Club and the Ambassadors Club, which is an extension of our leadership class.

Our video production and broadcast students learn in our two-story, 6,000-square-foot professional production and classroom facility. The Media Center houses a green screen studio, a control booth with a TriCaster multi-camera switcher, television sets donated by Nickelodeon, and plenty of space for computers and editing. Students have access to professional film editing and screenplay software and high-end cameras. Our drawing and animation students learn fundamental art, drawing and animation skills, while also having access to cutting-edge animation and storyboarding software from Toon Boom.

GMS is both an LAUSD New Media Magnet, and a Career Technical Education (CTE) Arts, Media and Entertainment sector/Production and Managerial Arts pathway.
