AIMS K-12 College Prep Charter District

AIMS K-12 College Prep is coming up on its 25th anniversary. Oakland’s second publicly-funded charter school, AIMS was initially conceived of as a place where Native American families could facilitate a cultural connection for their children and get a rigorous public education. In the years since it first opened, it expanded from just a middle school to a middle and high school and, by 2012, a complete K-12 school. Currently serving approximately 1,300 students, AIMS K-12 College Prep has been recognized as a National Blue Ribbon school and by Innovate Public Schools for closing the achievement gap for low-income African American students. 

Our mission at AIMS is to cultivate a community of diverse learners who achieve academic excellence. Our commitment to high expectations is attendance, academic achievement, and character development results in our students being prepared for lifelong success.
