Thousand Oaks High School EThOS Entrepreneurship Academy is a "school within a school" and it's one of just three entrepreneurship academies in California. Our academy is designed for students who seek the tools to nurture their creativity and become self-starters. Through the Academy, students create, promote and build a business model around a product they conceptualize. Applications are available to freshman students.

Our SEM is based on best practices in gifted education and aims to challenge and enrich every child's education by facilitating both academic and affective learning opportunities to build a foundation for critical thinking, achievement, innovation and success.

Acacia's student-centered Homework Philosophy empowers students to read, pursue their interests and allows for choice and family time, while working towards their personal learning goals.
