Irvine International Academy has been named a 2025 California Distinguished School. This designation is the state’s top honor for schools. This prestigious award is for exceptional student performance and we qualified based on achieving exemplary performance in English Language Arts (ELA) and math, while also demonstrating strong student engagement and positive school climate. IIA was one of only two charter schools and one of only 44 elementary schools in Orange County to receive this award.
