About Aspire

Aspire Public Schools operates a network of high‑performing, college preparatory charter schools serving TK‑12 scholars in communities across California. Founded in 1998—to transform the inequitable racial, social, and gender outcomes that our communities persist through—Aspire is one of the largest and most forward‑thinking open‑enrollment public charter school systems in the nation.

Our purpose is to prepare our scholars for success in college, career, and life. At Aspire, we set a foundation for our scholars to gain knowledge, skills, and power to access and make choices for their families and post‑secondary lives. Every day, our community of students, families, teachers and staff comes together to learn, work, and play in an environment grounded in our values of Bienestar (Well‑Being), Culture of Belonging, Community Partnership, Agency & Self‑Determination, and Joy.
