Pasadena City College is a very good community college, so is Glendale Community College.

I don’t think there are any international schools exactly of the kind you want in/near Pasadena, but there is a day/boarding school that might be close, Southwestern Academy in San Marino (south of Pasadena).

There are also French and Armenian high schools.
The good private schools are likely full for September 2010, the admissions process finishes the first week of March — admissions is very competitive in Pasadena / La Canada-Flintridge, and in 10th and 11th grade there tend to be 0 – 2 openings, only when someone leaves the school, and there are many applications for those spaces. Typically they do not admit in 12th grade, unless you’ve been at a similar private school and just moved into the area.
However, certain niche schools, like Southwestern Academy, may have open spaces. Also, you might look into Ribet Academy. It’s near the Glendale Freeway and San Fernando Rd., just south of Glendale. (Maybe near your home, it’s in Glassell Park.) They tend to have open spaces when others don’t, but it’s still a good school, it’s probably that their student population has been hit harder by the economy than the student population at the more prominent Pasadena private schools. (It isn’t the most attractive school, though.) They have an International Student Program, and Host Families.

If you’re in Eagle Rock, they have a good public high school, especially for kids that want to do well. Two kids got into Harvard for Sept 2010.
