Charter High of the Arts Multimedia and Performing (or CHAMPS) is a public high school that operates in the Phoenix office building. The campus is located at 6842 Van Nuys Boulevard, in Van Nuys, Los Angeles, California, United States. It is operated as a Charter High School.Dr. Norman Isaacs began CHAMPS high school in 2005. Before becoming the founder of CHAMPS, Dr. Isaacs worked as the principal of Robert A. Millikan Middle School Performing Arts Magnet in Sherman Oaks. CHAMPS was founded in order to create a high school where students could receive a curriculum in academics, digital media, visual, and performing arts. Many of the teachers come from performing and media arts backgrounds, these have included Dr. John Biroc, Scott Bailey, Leah Bass-Baylis, Vince Campi, Brad Koepenick, Donovan Glover, Joe Conway, Marshall Goldman, Nancy Aldrich, Otis and Kyme Sallid, and Frank Becker.The school specializes in performing and digital media arts. It is one of two arts high schools that allow students to study there from any district within the Los Angeles County (the other being the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts). Students who want to enroll in a specific academy (dance, music, drama, media arts, or robotics) need an audition to get in. Each academy has a separate audition process. Enrolled students can change into a different academy with the approval of the department chairs and counselors. CHAMPS has been a high school since September 2005. The school now consists of 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th graders. The first graduating classes (2009–2011) have moved on to universities throughout the country including NYU, UCLA, USC, UC Berkeley, Brown, Columbia, Stanford, and Duke University.
