Korematsu (FTK) Campus" after civil rights activist Fred Korematsu. The FTK campus is located at 13701 Bancroft Avenue, one block from the main campus. As of the 2017–2018 school year, the FTK campus houses the math and foreign language department for all grade levels, and is no longer an exclusively for freshman campus.
