Turning opportunities into achievements and possibilities into success
The International School of Los Angeles is proud to have a diverse and dynamic alumni network, with graduates living and working across the globe. From business and technology to arts and diplomacy, their career paths are as varied as the LILA community itself.
Our alumni are leaders, innovators, and changemakers, applying the lessons of their international education to speak and think globally. They are open-minded, confident, and compassionate critical thinkers—adapting to new challenges, embracing diverse perspectives, and making an impact wherever they go.
With a foundation built on multilingualism and cultural fluency, LILA graduates continue to break barriers, bridge cultures, and shape the world. Wherever life takes them, they carry with them the spirit of curiosity, excellence, and global citizenship that defines our school.
