East Palo Alto Charter School

Aspire East Palo Alto Charter School (EPACS) and East Palo Alto Phoenix Academy (EPAPA) comprise a leading K-12 public charter school dedicated to preparing our 700 students for success in college and beyond. We equip students with the skills, habits and mindset necessary to achieve success in college and beyond. We believe that a college degree will provide our graduates with the opportunity to earn a family-sustaining income and make a positive impact on their community. Helping our students realize the college dream is a challenge that requires the hard work of every member of our school family: our students love learning and achieve amazing results; our staff is the hardest-working group of professionals in the business; our parents and families are involved in supporting every aspect of our college-going culture; and our community partners, volunteers and supporters enable us to meet the unique needs of our students and our community.
